摘要：This article presents the results of research into the opinion of peasants on whether agriculture in Yugoslavia can be socialized, their attitudes towards socialization and their opinion as to whether self-management can replace the »feeling of ownership« over the land as a possible condition for its successful cultivation. The answers of peasants from different republics and provinces are compared, of younger and older peasants, »richer« and »poorer« peasants, and especially the answers of peasants who are and who are not members of the League of Communists. Research showed the most numerous to be those pesants who consider that socialization will take place because the peasants themselves will see that is the best solution for them. The number of those who subjectively desire socialization to take place is larger than the number of those who think that socialization will take place, but the number of those who do not desire socialization is also greater than the number of those who think that it will not take place. There is a more or less similar number of those who think that a »feeling of ownership« is necessary for successful land cultivation as those who think it does not matter who the land belongs to. About two thirds of the peasants who insist on the need of a »feeling of ownership« think that such a feeling can be replaced by self-management, and one third think that it cannot. Furthermore, younger respondents on an average have a more positive stand towards socialization and a more realistic relationship towards the »feeling of ownership«. There is more polarization in attitudes concerning socialization among the »richer« peasants than among those with less land. Finally, members of the League of Communists have a somewhat more positive attitude towards socialization and self-management, but some of the peasants- -Communists expressed attitudes towards the Party policy of socializing expressed attitudes towards the Party policy of socializing agriculture that are more negative than the attitudes of a great number of non-members of the League of Communists.
