English Translation
-m1 10 - according to its British and French form, but inspired by the Middle-European Vienna and Berlin, And the materialistic socialism? The same picture: Czech Merxism lived out as a faithful copy of German-Austrian Marxism, completely removed from its French syndicalist Cherak ter and the English movement "Trede Union". The same is true of the other political formations and their idcelle foundations. Czech Catholics also went to Deutsolend for political debate and not to France. And if communism had triumphed in Germany after the year l98, we too would certainly have become a communist country. The ideal and political development of the Czech people had fallen out of sight, like the German model, and this was not the case at a time when the whole of Czech politics was in fact soaked with an anti-German attitude. We wanted to go against the Germans, but we used the typical German political ideas and forms for this. And it is interesting that we received this political structure, tailored according to the German pattern and given thanks to you on German or German milieu taken over during Czechoslovakia. The attempts to get rid of it were not only sparse but also weak, is there any deeper meaning in it? Certainly! It is the language of our categorical fate and the answer for those who believe that people can only see out of the window as comfortably as they can on German netional socialism, as unin- terested spectators who don't care about the Srche, or that Czech folk life can remain untouched by him. This would be in a harsh contrast to our historical truth, which people say that every stage of German development is deeply and positively reflected in our people's life, which, whether it wants to or not, takes over its basic clements and tendencies in order to use them in the conception of one's own desire. And German National Socialism is only a stage of German development, and that is the most powerful and decisive one so far. It is therefore unthinkable, drss an arbitrary section of the people's life, the plitics both. how science, art, and so-called action, could escape its influence, even if a dedicated person stands in the way of it here or there.
