This is part two of a discussion based on a paper Chris wrote about the concept of "German Socialism" from which groups like the NSDAP, the National Bolsheviks, Conservative Revolutionaries, and Black Front draw the basis for their ideologies.

In what turns out to be an offshoot of our Czechoslovak socialism series, we dive in to the ill fated and short lived Hungarian Soviet Republic. This also turns out to be incredibly relevant to anyone who is following along with our series on Otto Bauer and the national question.

Continuing what has become a series on Czechoslovak Socialism, we dive into the attempt to reform the Czechoslovak system. The official ML narrative and the liberal narrative about the Prague Spring are the same, they say that it was an attempt to re-establish bourgeois democracy. However, it seems clear that the intentions of its participants were the opposite. They appear to have been a genuine attempt to revitalize and push forward the communist project.

(English Translation)
In a gloomy light of a gothic hall
the scared profiteers are gazing into their missals
and a horde of slayers is asking for blessing
After all the first of the knights is his majesty executioner
Aaah look the first of the knights is his Majesty Executioner
Priest – the devil who served the mass
is wearing a stole made from a hangmans slope
Having a bottle of vitriol under the purple rochet
The smell of sulfur coming from the mortars
is crawling under the red hood of the first from all the knights
his Majesty Executioner
Aaah to the first of knights look it is his Majesty Executioner
On the national flag there is
an emblem with guillotine
And the barbed wire
smells by something decayed
In our region is a flock of raven nesting
the master hangman reigns these people
The king is kneeing infront of Satan
eagers to have the sceptre
And the rabble is hanging the wise council
at the plane tree
And the heretic crowd is exhilarated and rejoices
After all the first of knights is his Majesty Executioner
Aaah the first of knights is his Majesty Executioner
At a streetcorner a murderer is holding a lecture about moral
Infront of the prison's door the guardians are walking
From the military armour plate the black sign proclaims
that the first of the knights is his Majesty Executioner
Aaah that the first of the knights is his Majesty Executioner
Over the government palace
rises the flag with guillotine
The children love the ice cream cornets
The judges were upset about them
so they killed their ice cream man
A horrible state it was,
as you had to watch
the writing beeing forbidden
and the singing beeing forbidden
And they didn't have enough
they commanded the kids

We just can't stop talking about Czechoslovak Socialism. We decided to deal with the Slovak portion of the Czechoslovak lands, which we feel has been a little neglected in our previous discussions. Slovakia is important as an integral part of the movement of Czechoslovak socialism and as a case study of the problem of the national question. If you have been following along with our discussions of Otto Bauer's work on the national question, you might appreciate the context.

We accidentally released the wrong episode, this one should have come before the last!
This week we sat down with C. Derick Varn to talk about "decadence theory," "crisis theory" and "breakdown theory." This is a special episode, mostly because it wasn't supposed to come out until August, but Varn accidentally released it early so y'all get a bonus episode.
We discussed the following materials:
Morley, Neville. "Decadence as a Theory of History." New Literary History, Vol. 35, No. 4, Forms and/of Decadence (Autumn, 2004), pp.573-585
