One of the founders of SZETA (Fund for Aiding the Poor) speaks about the socio-cultural features of poverty, the difficulties of self-organisation by the poor and the possible methods of helping them to defend their rhterests and integrate into society.

Lajos Für, Miklós Szabó and Ferenc Kósa outline their opinions about the topicality of the national question, the causes behind the renaissance of national thinking, the sharpening of nationality conflicts in Eastern Europe and the role of the Jewish and gypsy question in the present Hungarian society.

The author analyses the Azeri-Armenian relations in the Caucasus that take such a sharp, violent form today which can be compared to the conflicts of national interests between Hungarians and Roumanians in Transylvania. He describes the relations between the Caucasian peoples, the history of those relations, the national movements of Armenians and Azeris in the periods of dependence on the Turkish Empire, tsarist Russia and the Soviet Union.

With an almost definitive density, the author shows the birth of the basic pillars of the decisive ideology of the Horthy era which determined the thinking of several generations.

Analysing the causes of the „French type fascism" earmarked by Le Pen, the author comes to the idea that racial discrimination in this country actually has two century old historical roots and the present crisis is just the cathaliser in its revival. The structural problems of the French left wing, the internal contradictions of the Church and the collapse of the revolutionary trend represented by the French Communist Party have opened up the road for LePenism. To overcome it, it is not enough to reject racialism in principle: a progressive social movement is needed that would end the causes of its mass attraction.
