Today, when I am initiated as a pioneer
I state on the pioneer’s oath the following:
That I shall learn and work hard and be a good friend;
That I shall love our self-governed homeland,
the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia;
That I shall contribute to brotherhood and unity and the ideas Tito fought for;
That I shall respect all people of the world who want freedom and peace!

Today, when I am initiated as a consumer
I state on the consumer’s honor the following:
That I shall spend my salary months before I earn it;
That I shall blindly follow the imposed trends;
That, at least once a month, I shall visit the consumers’ temples;
That I shall dogmatically accept all marketing messages and work hard on the shameless acquisition of elitist wealth.
So help me Credit Card!
