This text analyzes the positions and theologico-political thought of J. L. Hromádka, focusing on his perceived and actual errors. The author rejects the interpretation of Hromádka's actions as mere opportunism or collaboration with the communist regime. Instead, his stance is placed within the context of his long-term left-wing orientation, rooted in the Gospel and the traditions of religious socialism. The primary criticism is directed at Hromádka's assessment of the global situation and his excessive identification of socialist perspectives with the Soviet model. However, the text also raises broader questions about the sustainability of liberal capitalism and the necessity of seeking a form of social state as a viable future perspective. The author draws parallels between the historical perception of Russian revolutionary leaders and French figures, criticizing the superficial dismissal of discussions regarding alternative social structures. Hromádka's legacy is thus viewed not through a black-and-white lens, but as a challenge to deeper reflection on social systems and their moral foundations in a historical context.
