From Predlmluva k Husitskému cyklu Karla Stecha z let 1950-1957 (Preface to the Hussite cycle of Karel  Štěch from 1950 - 1957) by Bohumír Janoušek.

Karel Štěch always saw the Hussite movement as closely related to the present, as the wooden carving "From the Hussite movement to socialism" demonstrates.  In the Hussite movement he correctly saw the first attempt in history to bring about the classless society which would be acceptable to all exploited people because of its generally valid social and democratic ideas.
