Title. As some of you know, I'm Macedonian. Like most Macedonians I've got (better to say once had) members of my family in the Yugoslav partisan forces during WW2. I also have members of my family that were refugees from the Greek civil war (as they were children at the time) (I am one half aegean Macedonian, being Macedonians who once lived in the greek region of Macedonia (I know, confusing, this is the one of the reasons for the whole name debacle)). Would like to know if anyone here has a communist lineage.

All of my grandparents were socialist/communist which trickled down to me being raised that way (wasn't until about 3 years ago that I actually started reading theory, but was exposed to the ideas all my life essentially since I had the privilege of growing up with all 4 being a constant presence). I'm also from a former Yugoslavian country, both grandfathers fought in WW2, one in Croatia, one in Montenegro. My grandmother still goes to a monthly meeting called the Union of Fighters which is retired or previously serving partisans.
