March and revolution
The short essay proves the bourgeoise nature of the march songs which are linked with the working class movement in public thinking, namely that aggressive subordination of individuals to being a mass of people contradicts socialist endeavours aimed at developing individuality.
Anarchy and violence
The author starts out from power violence and opposes it to anti-power and therefore anti-violence anarchy. He describes the trends of anarchism, the means used by anarchists, their debates about the use of violence and the terrorist age of anarchy. According to his standpoint, to a large extent, the violent solutions can be traced back to the moral characteristics of one or another movement. He argues that anarchy is the least violent of the various emancipation movements.
Violence as self-defence – Behaviour and self-image of marginal subculture members
The author-sociologist analyses the whys and hows of getting into the forefront of the cult of violence, national intolerance and elements of fascist ideology of the attitude of young generations in the 1980s. He traces back partly psychological motivations, partly the hopelessness of the social position when discussing the emergence of these phenomena that can be identified with conscious fascism only very rarely and by taking abundant quotations from young people's ideals, he shows the specific features of thinking of this marginal group.
Roma people, prejudice and self-organisation
This is a monologue condensed from an interview with one of the founders of the Phralipe, democratic gypsy organisation about the causes of the present Gypsy problem, the manipulation encouraging prejudices, the necessity of the Gypsies' political self-organisation and the possibility of solidarity for those elbowed out.
