English Translation

- 4 - VVs have long since left the idea of cooperativeism. To a large extent, these agronomists were only active for the political interests of the agricultural party, especially in the constituency of the Brdlik Prague A and B. As far as they can no longer develop a political or negative activity, they do not develop anything positive; they are rather slowing down, Brdlik, which is characteristically derived from textile liberalism, is now an old man. The all-powerful agrarian liberal union was the Czech agricultural party or, as it was officially called, the Czech-Slovenské strana zemědělského a malorolnického lidu = Czech- Slovak party of the agricultural and small peasant people. It was the leading state party of the former Czechoslovak Republic, which, despite an ever-existing right wing, could never decide to take a serious stand against the Beneš policy (not even in the second republic), because the leader was linked with Beneš. The most powerful agrarian factor has developed from the present, which is generally an obstacle to the rt daeeorr For the political constitution of the Czech rural population in the present and also for the current legend, the development of thought since Chelčický and Zižka with the decisive stations in the 8Oer years of the last century is extremely revealing. It would be worth exposing the material for a speech to the Czech farmers or for a special issue "Bohemians and Moravia".
