Counter-revolution
A legal case which had been under consideration for seventy-three years was closed on November 28, 1994 in an open session of the Supreme Court of the Hungarian Republic. The Supreme Court upheld the death sentence imposed on Mihály Francia Kiss in 1957 by the Council of the People's Tribunal of the supreme Court of the Hungarian People's Republic for war crimes and other criminal acts. The supreme Court re-examined the case ont appeal by Francia Kiss's bereaved daughter. Since, according to the criminal code, a claimant may make suche an appeal only once, and since no appeal is permitted against a decision made by the Supreme Court in such cirminal cases, this meant that legal procedings, which were initiated in the summer of 1921 and which continued with interruptions until the end of 1994, were finally closed
Retrotopia : critical reason turns primitive
Traces the collapse of the communist regimes & the failure of the antibureaucratic critical Left to the same roots. In the mid-1960s, the critical Left turned away from a future-oriented utopia & discovered anthropology, the peasants, & the primitive as an anticapitalist, antibureaucratic, anticentralist, & anticonsumerist alternative. East European critical intellectuals became unable to provide a technologically desirable, politically sound, historically acceptable critique of the existing communist regimes. The anticapitalist, antiimperialist retrotopia of the New Left seduced the communist ideologues into also giving up the future-oriented utopia that was the only historical legitimation of their regimes. The fall at the end of the 1980s came as a surprise to the social scientists, who were unable to come to terms with the unusual & unexpected changes.
