Titoism is the socialist political and economic thought and ideology authored by Josip Broz Tito. It was the main political and economic thought of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (1945–1992), a state that existed in the Balkans from 1920 to 1942 when the German Reich (1933–1945) invaded and subjugated it, and was liberated by Tito and his partisans in 1945.


Titoism is a leftist political ideology, characterized primarily by Yugoslav Nationalism, workers' self management, and geopolitical Non-Alignment.


Tito himself rejected the use of the term Titoism, saying that "Titoism as a separate ideological line does not exist. [...] Should Titoism become an ideological line, we would become revisionists; we would have renounced Marxism. We are Marxists; I am a Marxist, and therefore I cannot be a Titoist"[1]. However, in the modern day, Titoism is still used as a general term to describe Tito's specific implementation of Marxism.
