On the 1956 Hungarian Revolution

A detailed analysis of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution, the only armed revolt against Soviet Communism, and one nearly successful, as well as both wholly-spontaneous and unplanned. And, no surprise, of what lessons can be found in it for us in 2024 America.

"In these latter days, we are told man should be made new, and if that fails, we can replace him with thinking machines. The past is therefore denigrated, largely a blank. Today, most history is obscure, except where memory is kept alive by frequent reference to some event, usually for purposes of propaganda. Thus, we hear endlessly about World War II, or rather a faerie version of it. But we never hear about many other important episodes in the years before or since. Today I will correct historical amnesia about one such event—the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, the only wholly-spontaneous armed uprising against Communism in the twentieth century. And, not coincidentally, one which offers valuable lessons to 2024 America. . . ."
