By analysing the right wing emigrants of the Romanian state party system, the author gives a possible answer to a question why is that there was no articulated and authentic leftist critique against the state party system in Romania.

The article provides a complex analysis of the role Lukács' Ontology played in exceeding Stalinist orthodoxy and on the different careers of the colleagues and disciples of the senior Master.

The concept of globalisation makes the impression that the world is being homogenised, and previous divisions are abolished or devalued. In reality, however, globalisation does not anull the East-West gap and the nationalist and imperialist programs related to that. The only change is that the East-West borders can be floated and some extent shifted along the slope of globalisation.
