Death to fascism, freedom to the people
Yugoslav Partisan motto
"Death to fascism, freedom to the people!" (Serbo-Croatian: Smrt fašizmu, sloboda narodu! / Смрт фашизму, слобода народу!, Slovene: Smrt fašizmu, svoboda narodu!, Macedonian: Смрт на фашизмот, слобода на народот!) was a motto of the Yugoslav Partisans, first introduced by the Communists and afterward accepted as the official slogan of the entire resistance movement. During World War II and for a few subsequent years, it was also used as a greeting formulation among members of the movement, both in official and unofficial correspondence, often abbreviated as "SFSN!" when written and accompanied by the clenched fist salute when spoken (one person usually saying "Smrt fašizmu!", the other responding with "Sloboda narodu!"). Later, it was often quoted in post-war Socialist Yugoslavia.
