Sir,

Sorry as I am, I cannot see the relevance of the above text neither to the
discussed matter, the Slovak fascism, or more in general, forms of the
contemporary fascisms in the Central Europe, nor to the very purpose of
the forum.

>From the whole bunch of words, I see only one point which maybe deserves
to be addressed: the difference between "nazism" and "fascism". It happens
that I had an opportunity to think about recently (my compliments to Mr.
Frajkor, listowner of Slovak-L) and maybe some reader will find these
reflexions interesting. In order to keep the real issues separated from
personal remarks, I prefer to address that point in a separate article.

My name has been misspelled, too... And I don't have the feeling to be
one of Dr. Balogh's opposants.



A more list-related remark: as a habit, when I go to newsgroups, I am
already wearing boxer gloves, yes, I am reading mostly Slovak-L where
they are necessary. I used to come to Hungary list to enjoy more reasonable
views and more scholar approach. But Hungary list also changed, personal
attacks, nationalism, Great Hungary appeared and sometimes hide the rational
arguments.

That the level of the discussion is never going to the one of the Slovak-L
list the merit is to the Hungary list listowner. Be proud of him. Believe
me, I know what I am speaking about.

>  ... over the meaning
>"nazi" versus "fascist".

As I wrote in my previous contribution to this matter and Dr. Balogh also
pointed out, the word "fascism" has no exact definition and there is no
exact frontier that, once crossed, makes one to be a fascist. There are
complex definitions, like the one introduced by Dr. Scruton who says
(approximately and from my memory only, using my words, sorry, I cannot
remember the source) that it is a convergence of various intellectual
streams and influences rather than a distinct separate idea system, but
the distinctive sign is the ability to win popular support to ideas that
are reactionary (anti-egalitarian in the sense introduced by 1789, anti-
democratic, nationalist, negating the values of the enlightement, cult
of a charismatic autocratic leader, cult of tribal symbols, economic
corporatism...)

As for the "nazism", it's one of the forms of the fascism that originally
denoted the German fascism born from socialist movements and eventually
got forms of extreme-nationalist, racialist, bio-determinist movement
with characterised paranoid scapegoating of "inferior" races and nations.
Today, one can encounter the theme of Slovak supremacy (Mr. Frajkor on the
Slovak-L list). Magyar supremacy is also being promoted by some people on
Internet, no need to quote names, everyone has remarked them.

Historically, the Southern forms of fascism (Spain, to some extent Italy)
have avoided the ultime deshumanisation in form of racism. Unfortunately,
the Central European ones, including the Balkans, have embraced the most
horrible forms of the fascism, bringing back the idea of "ethnic cleansing".
Let's this be a memento.

I always thought that (except for the sick ones) human beings are born good

[comment for Roman, very well written, I couldn't have said it better
myself:]

I am a sometime surveyor of this list and am astounded at the increasing
level of animosity from Mr. Kanala towards Mr. Frajkor.  This last post
amounts to a personal attack, has crossed a line of decency.  It does
not have any relevance to the spirit of this list, and Mr. Kanala, you
seem amazingly unconcerned about this fact.

If the idea of picking apart Mr. Frajkor's credentials was to convince
others that your arguments about Slovak history are more sound, it is
nothing but an ad hominum attack anyway.  True scholars would laugh at
you.

Perhaps, Mr. Kanala, you would be happier if ou took a break from all
this talk, made yourself a tea, and watched some TV or listened to some
nice music.  Too much bile is bad for a person's health.

What is that  HUNGARY list.

I open USENET NEWSGROUPS from <http://mars.uthscsa.edu/Russia/newsgroup.html>;
 or any other entrance point and there is no HUNGARY list. There is only

<soc.culture.magyar> and <bit.listserv.hungary

Through HIX you could find something like that, but then that is
slow and controlled and is just a re listing. Why cut and categorize
up the discussion in an arbitrary fashion. Who has the time for that?

The materian in sco.culture.romanian or others is way larger and is
not segmented.
The discussion and thematic content are much better. That is indeed
a national debate a rel news group no dog shows there..

This is indeed a traveling Pope, who visited practically every corner

Not a response to the question posed, just a quote from Reuters, describing

Would anyone care to have a thread on differences (advantages and
disadvantages or dangers) between individual rights and collective
rights?  That would seem more relevant and interesting than pursuing
further some of the recent stuff.

For those of us without the Fletcher Forum journal, is there any chance
of reposting the article here?

I think the question of how far collective rights can go without turning
into tribalism, fascism, etc in one direction or class warfare in another
direction, or the question of how far minorities can have collective
rights without encroaching on majority rights or upsetting the
established form of government, or any number of other such questions,
could be productive with or without reference to Hungarian minorities, or
minorities in Hungary.


First off, define collective?  And what can it mean in, e.g. a village on
the Danube that has say 51% Magyars or SLovaks and 40% of the other?  I
chose on the Danube as a location with an international aspect too, as a
waterway across Europe, an ecologically important area, etc


Any takers?

I'm afraid that Peter has the correct gist of things. Certainly in
Britain (a country without a written constitution and where the rules
are largely made up or discarded as suits the powers that be) the
question of conflicting parliamentary/business interests has become
a big issue. Tory fat cats are increasingly manipulating profits into
their own pockets by their ongoing wheelings and dealings, privatization
programmes, etc, of gas, electricity, water, nuclear power, transport,
prisons, post, broadcasting, etc, while downgrading and streamlining
those concerns in the name of efficiency. Many MPs and most members of
the government are on the boards of directors of usually several concerns
and the cases of highly suspect (and even what would be considered
clearly illegal in the US) dealings have reached epidemic proportions.
Fraud in British business and financial institutions has reached epidemic
proportions these days. Most local government infrastructures are riddled
with grass roots corruption and organized crime on a breathtaking scale.
My impression is that The Independent (best English broadsheet IMHO)
over the last few years has had more headlines and exposures of such
improprieties than all other matters put together. All this is going on
while Britain has reached a new low in standards of economic equality
(the national rich-poor divide, relative to the overall wealth of the
country, is now one of the worst in Europe, equal to third world Nigeria,
according to recent reports). I don't know where Hungary fits into this,
but do not these fundamental problems echo the current Hungarian situation
(as well as many other countries), somewhat?

It takes a very big upheaval indeed for populations to change anything
for real. People as a whole aren't going to vote to change anything,
even if they could, there is a sociopathic malaise that seems to make
people take everything lying down. This is understandable, up to a
point, not only for reasons of a generally low level of consciousness,
education and will, but also because the complexity of the labyrinthine
processes of the system is deliberately nurtured and used by the
socio-politico-judicial institutions to obstruct any real change;
every trick at bureaucratic stalling and legalistic obfuscation is
used by the dinosaurs to keep themselves in business. At the same time
people tend to swallow the propaganda of the dinosaurs hook, line and
sinker. The one notable political trend in Britain over the last few
decades has simply been the firm implementation of Thatcherism, espousing
personal greed for the few at the expense of the nation. So-called
democracy is powered by self-interest and most people's idea of
self-interest is not to lose what little they already have (not rock
the boat too much). Does any of this resemble the Hungarian situation?

Unfortunately, the only way the jailing of corrupt and greedy dinosaurs
will ever happen in Britain (and Hungary, I suspect) is if a benevolent
dictatorship enforced it (or, even less likely, the military and police
forces supported an enlightened peoples' movement into power to enforce
it). The dinosaurs would attempt to nip any such moves in the bud and it
would need a civil war, a cataclysm or a real upheaval of some kind to
oust them. Life is a bitch and then one dies! :-(

Where did you find the picture? I'd like to download it.

Sorry, you may think I am dense, but I still can't understand how
uncuth behavior can substitute for clear reasoning.  Your constant
rude personal attacks will only result in further defininig you as
a bore and an intellectual pauper.  Since you seem to take such
satisfaction in displaying the signs of your poor upbringing, you
may continue your simple-minded diversions; I will not stoop to answer
your insults.

>- Gutter Mouth?

        Hello, Mark,
Just a quick public not to let you know your response is duly noted
however rather than getting myself into your guy's whole thread,
which is what I didn't want to have happen.  I'll state my case again:
the language in this group has hit an all-time low and I do agree with
this point made in the original post.  Although, Mark you go to great
lengths to "clue me in" as to what the thread was pertaining to before
I hopped on board, the thread's header did read:

        gutter language, and not
        gutter language (WAS: such and such and so and so)

...so that if you are looking for some response from me as to your
personal use of language, sorry, I simply could not care less
about how the original poster speaks to the point about *-YOUR-*
language in particular.  How ever what is important is what *-IS-*
at issue and the only thing *-I-* ever wanted to comment about and
that was: generally speaking, the language has hit an all time low
in this group.

        I've been a lurker since between Halloween and Thanks-
giving of 1991, long before this whole internet thing took off and
almost the same day ventured into S.c.m. and have met a lot of nice
people, exchanged pogaca recipes, and even posted a couple of times
myself.
        As most long-standing participants of s.c.m. know if they
remember me, and if they are still out there, I do not flame bait,
I do not instigate public arguments with other posters, and I cer-
tainly do not get my kicks out of telling other individuals on an
individual basis publically how to live their lives on here....
Nor am I saying you or Joe are...  What I am affirming herein is
the fact that I wouldn't post and would remain lurking until such
time I thought I had something to contribute. Whether or not you
think I had anything worthwhile to add or not is not my concern.

        I am in this for the information, as a hobby, as are most,
and to read interesting articles herein.  This ceased to be interesting
for me when I was jumped upon for stating my opnion and that was:
the language used in posts in this newsgroup has hit an all-time
low.  Plain, simple, succinct, and right to the point.  At least
this is what I thought I was agreeing with when I posted.  Turns out
there was a lot more to that post & thread than I realized.....

        Anything else relating to what the post WAS or what you
and Joe want it to become simply does not interest me.  Homo-
sexuals, heterosexuals, or any other topic, alright?  I simply
don't care who said what to whom - I just would like my newsgroup
back, and by the response I've gotten, I am not the only one who
thinks the language and pettiness had better stop soon.  If you
want to alienate people from people from contributing to this
newsgroup, go ahead, sir, but first measure them right when you
judge them, and read what they wrote not what is between the lines.

Have a nice day.
Mike.  :)

The easiest way to make langos is to buy some fresh pizza dough and fry
it in plenty of hot oil until golden brown.(do not deep fry!)

        In my post, I didn't say YOU were. I was trying to dissect
the paragraph that everyone seems to be so hung up about.  I saw
in it a plea for watching out tongues on-line, the next poster saw
this guy's labeling the gays on here as militant as more inportant
than the subject that was mostly on his mind in that post: language.

        Just as I'm sure there was more to your post, Mark where
you called God a f-fej, and now you're shocked that people got sooo
hung up an that?  I don't get it?

        Language on this newsgroup is what was important there and
not anything else, and I appreciate your trying to intervene but
it's STILL not addressing the point of *-THAT-* particular post.

Did I wish ya' a nice day?  :)
