According to Attila József "Marx's perception of history considered of four facts when he came stepped up. They were the principle of the historical development (Hegel), the new industrial technology, the working class unrest under its burden and the so-called utopian socialism, which was peaceful not militant, and which had a general human nature instead of proletarian one." In his opinion the socialism of the Marxism is humanism. "It is humanism but precisely the most human phenomena – mental disorders and neuroses – cannot be understood through it." – he says. That is why he turns to Freud and psychoanalysis.

The continuous civil war lasting since 1983 in the southern part of Sudan is originally the fault of British colonialists, but the Chinese-Canadian-Malaysian consortium which has an interest in the exploitation and sale of the oil of southern Sudan and the European Union by supporting the Islamic regime in Khartoum, also have a responsibility in the maintaining of the crisis which has turned into genocide.

The nazi Germany – consistently with its racist ideology – pursued a totally different type of war in the East than in the West. According to the author, this difference was not reflected in the western european image of the war, which attempted to create a collective, national experience of the sufferings that in reality was the share of only some segments of the society, most importantly of Jewish citizens. In this way, common national remembrance is necessarily illusory: the fragmented and disrupted experience of World War II can only leave behind a fragmented and disrupted remembrance in Western Europe.
