The Constitution of the Hungarian Socialist Federated Soviet Republic

Fegyverbe! Fegyverbe!

"The Hungarian Soviet Republic of 1919 Under the impact of defeat in the first imperialist world war and the ensuing political chaos, there arose in Hungary a Soviet republic inspired by Bolshevik Russia. This nascent workers state was overthrown after three months in a bloody counterrevolution orchestrated by the Western "democratic" imperialists. The constitution of the Soviet republic expressed the organic link between the expropriation of the capitalist exploiters, proletarian state power and socialist internationalism." (WV #547)
