Slovenian political thought is relatively new in the broader history of political science. This should not come as a radical surprise, since in the light of European history as a whole, many national and national identities are also extremely young - Slovenian being one of them. Although the United Slovenia programme was only an uncertain preamble, the conflicts and shifts of the early and middle 20th century transformed the Slovenian political psyche and made it fertile ground for the emergence and development of the national question. Throughout this century of ideology and armed conflict, we have followed the great names of Slovenian political history, such as Loncar, Kidric, Kocbek, Kardelj, Ude, Korosec and Bibic, all of whom left their mark on the national liberation struggle. Reflection on the Liberation Front (LF) and its aftermath can show us many realities about the true roots of Slovene identity and Slovenian political thought.
