The present chapter aims to give a short account of the Hungarian Commune. A cursory examination of what caused it and what brought Béla Kun to power is followed by a discussion of Lenin's hopes and disappointments about the event which reveals, incidentally, what Lenin actually thought about the nature of his own regime. Finally, Lukács' role in this historic enterprise is described.
