There are a lot of quotes from Rakosi's theoretical articles and speeches. Hopefully you'll find it interesting, its a very important topic.I briefly mentioned the “peaceful path” to socialism. To clarify: the “peaceful path” is not a universal or common phenomena, but was related to the very specific and even exceptional conditions of Hungary at the time. It also should not be understood as a “peaceful growing of capitalism into socialism” without a revolution, without the smashing and overthrow of the bourgeoisie. The "peaceful path" in this context only meant a successful socialist revolution without a violent uprising and civil war.------------------Script:mltheory.wordpress.com/2022/08/09/history-of-the-hungarian-peoples-republic-part-6-the-social-democrats-and-communists-merge-1948SOURCES:Jörg K.

In the elections communists emerged as the largest party with 22% of the vote. The coalition government continued in power. The smallholders had previously split so their vote was reduced to 15%. The smallholder party was taken over by leftists and they supported the government coalition, while two right-wing groups split from smallholders and created new parties: the neo-fascist party of Pfeiffer, and the religious party of Barankovics. The opposition parties won around 30% and the government coalition around 60% of the vote. The other government parties (national peasants, social-democrats and smallholders) had shifted to the left and accepted the most important parts of the communist program. The fact that the government coalition received more than 60% of the vote, meant that a majority of the population supported socialist policies, such as the Three Year Economic Plan and nationalization of banks and industries, which were advocated by all government parties, and especially by the communists.Script:mltheory.wordpress.com/2022/03/14/history-of-the-hungarian-peoples-republic-part-4-the-1947-electionsSOURCES:Aptheker, The Truth About HungarySmith, The State of EuropeStone, Hungary: A Short HistoryNemes, History of the Revolutionary Workers Movement in Hungary: 1944-1962Pryce-Jones, The Hungarian RevolutionKovrig, The Hungarian People’s RepublicPaul E.

Chapter 5 deals with the question of leaders. The German "Left-Communists" (influenced by Erler, Pannekoek etc.) claimed that the movement shouldn't have leaders but only "the masses" and it should build a dictatorship of the class "not of the party". Some of them went so far that they claimed all parties are bourgeois, and communists should not have parties.The textmarxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1920/lwc/ch04.htmAudio bookyoutube.com/watch?v=YKWYoRTyfdkPrevious videos in the seriesyoutube.com/playlist?list=PLbnLysSug0vR4-29AGfaHOYJLnSt3ihF2Read more about the history of the bolshevik party:marxists.org/reference/archive/stalin/works/1939/x01---------------------------------My patreonpatreon.com/TheFinnishBolshevikMy discorddiscord.gg/ar62eZezbuMy blogmltheory.wordpress.com

So much for "saving money".https://www.maaseuduntulevaisuus.fi/rakentaminen/artikkeli-1.216886Due to cuts to spending, it is now common for the school to only spend 70-80 cents on lunches to students!

Burchett, Peoples' DemocraciesABOUT MY SOURCES:Almost all my sources are established “respectable” anti-communist/pro-capitalist mainstream historians. The only exception is that I cite 2 books by Hungarian communist historians: one by Nemes and the other by Borsányi & Kende. Burchett is also a journalist with communist sympathies.The facts I present here can be considered very reliable, because they are confirmed both by pro-communist and anti-communist sources. I chose to cite mostly anti-communist historians, since they obviously have no bias to lie on behalf of communism. This way the information should be acceptable to non-communists.That said, capitalist historians are dishonest and biased against communism, so I typically don't recommend any of them. The only non-communist book on this topic I can recommend is “Revolution in Eastern Europe” by Doreen Warriner, it is both objective and well researched, with lots of emprical data. The other non-communist history books are extremely flawed, I had to verify everything I quoted from them from multiple sources and make sure it was true.Nemes, Borsányi & Kende are not perfect either, they are kadarist revisionists. I agree with the facts I quoted from them, but not necessary with everything they might say.At the end of this series I will probably make an episode where I discuss the research process and the sources in detail.Music clips are from "Concerto for Orchestra", "Viola Concerto" and "Violin Concerto no. 2" by Béla Bartók, "Années de pèlerinage II 'Canzonetta del Salvator Rosa' S.161 Andante marziale" by Franz Liszt, "Hazatérés Concerto", "In Fury Rose the Ocean - Oratorio: VI, Hungarians will now triumph I am sure" and "Vallomás" by Ferenc Szabó, "Tábortűznél" by Lajos Bárdos and "Honvéd kantáta" by Endre Szervánszky

He sees the Kronstadt mutiny as a tragedy which could never have succeeded but he sympathizes with it. Despite everything he tries to deny that the mutiny was orchestrated by the Whites. He admits that the Kronstadt mutineers collaborated with Whites, Monarchists, Capitalists, foreign powers, Mensheviks and SRs but basically claims “that doesn't matter”. His book is from 1970 when the archives were still closed. For that reason he relies quite heavily on dishonest Menshevik and Anarchist sources which have nothing to support their claims, and often he takes Petrichenko's words at face value. He also doesn't understand Marxism and therefore distorts it. Perhaps it was impossible to publish in American academia unless one reached an anti-bolshevik conclusion? Still he deserves credit for his discoveries.

A liberals defense of socialism (David Pakman response) TheFinnishBolshevik 2021-01-22 | David Pakman is a liberal who claims that Marxism-Leninism is a failure and has nothing in common with socialism, while utopian socialism, anarchism and "democratic socialism" are fantastic successes. As his evidence he says "Orwell said so". However, Pakman is not a supporter of any kind of socialism, he merely advocates for those things to steer people away from Marxism.Sources:Seidman, Agrarian Collectives during the Spanish Revolution and Civil WarFraser, Blood of SpainBricall, Política econòmica de la Generalitat quoted in FraserBolloten, The Spanish civil warSnitch Orwellbennorton.com/george-orwell-list-leftists-snitch-british-governmentVideo on social-democracy in Finland ("'Welfare capitalism' is failing Europe")youtube.com/watch?v=K6GcsXl54ZI&list=PLbnLysSug0vQ5qdifZ4N0CzrYyal4RQ8S&index=3&Actually Existing Anarchism Pt. 2 (CNT-FAI Catalonia)youtube.com/watch?v=3ufTFRGPrCMAnarchy vs Marxism, challenges of revolution ("Socialism vs Individualism?")youtube.com/watch?v=XvcafXtNdr8Some stuff about Anarchists joining governments in the Spanish revolution of 1860-70s in case you're interested.youtube.com/watch?v=Tw_Mjd1bmX8marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1873/bakunin/index.htm----------------------------------My patreonpatreon.com/TheFinnishBolshevikMy discorddiscord.gg/nED9T2dHFMMy blogmltheory.wordpress.com
