A show about old Prague and Karel Marx
A show about old Prague and Karel Marx
On ČT3 we could see another of the very stimulating retrospective continuations of walks through Prague by dr. František Dvořák. I appreciate his knowledge. Too bad he’s not been with us for six years. It reminds me of the wise style of the doyen of Prague art scholars, to whom he once accompanied us in television in a similar way around television, dr. VV Štěcha or classmate dr. Jiří Dvorský, former director of the Institute of Arts, Academy and his meeting with those close to them in Prague, and until recently living doc. Zdeněk Mahler. I remind him The cathedral.
I admit that I look forward to similar shows. I don’t miss Dvořák’s. This time, however, the doctor disappointed me. He talked about one of Prague’s central streets in the Old Town. At one of the houses he also told us the name of their former owner. He was a certain Karel Marx. All this did not cause problems. But František Dvořák added that the local owner certainly did less evil than his namesake, and cited the October Revolution as an example. It was shocking to me. Maybe that’s why Czech Television chose this part in its stunned anti-communism.
Charles Marx and the Great October Socialist Revolution! A time difference of more than thirty years, between the death of a brilliant economist and the revolution that changed the world. I write brilliant, I’m not wrong? In addition to me and the followers of his teachings, the genius was confirmed by a BBC poll in which Charles Marx was hailed as the greatest philosopher of the 19th century. Even at the beginning of this century, the Vatican’s Osservatore Romano was very positively expressed about his theories – we wrote about it at the time. Only today, in the Czech Republic, his teaching must not be positively talked about.
The revolutions after the Great War did not arise because Marx initiated them. But because the rage of war provoked resistance from those most affected by the horrors. As for Russia, the first so-called democratic, did not fulfill the desires of the people, Those who provoked and led the war continued to live in wealth, so came another revolutionary stage. This was the socialist revolution, and it was only able to fulfill the desires of the people of Russia at that time. Were it not for those who feared for their power and property, it was not so bloody, but it was no longer the revolution, but the civil war. The same was the case after another post-war revolution.
Charles Marx discovered something that marked the development of the world. He understood the laws of production and history. He proved it on the basis of his scientific studies. The result was a book called Capital and ome how capitalists live from the work of others. For owners of capital, factories and a “bundle of money,” it was not a pleasant discovery. Those who worked on them could understand that nothing had to be given forever.
As for Dr. Dvořák, I think the story of old Prague suited him better. CT? She must have been aware of why she had included such a faux pas.
