If were gonna have a music board, I'd rather have it look like the r slash heads community because this is boring. Grateful dead & Brand New? Not exactly blowing minds out here

        holy necropost batman. idk a lot of it tends to be very nationalistic and gross. like a lot of right wingers talk about forcibly removing / killing germans and russians today. as in just people that moved there recently. those kinda people love the prague spring. theres also a religious element to it where people like to liken him to jan hus.

          Interesting! I didn't think right wingers would view socialists like Dubček as one of theirs (or indeed Palach). What does the Czech left make of the Prague Spring today?

            they see it as generally bad but there were some redeeming figures. tbf most of the czech left are boomers so anyone trying to change things up = bad. dubcek later was chairman after the overthrow of communism and the rape of czechoslovakia by capitalists so hes got a bit more to him than just being a socialist reformer. he also joined the socdems in slovakia

              Thx for the info :) I flunked a history of Czechoslovakia class so this helps fill in the gaps of that godawful class (prof was a hardcore Slovak nationalist who equated communism with Nazism lol). What do you think of Karel Kryl? One of those annoying nationalists?
