Summary:This essay critically reconstructs the concept of 'democratic dictatorship' which Georg Lukács outlines in Blum Theses of 1928. The essay takes into consideration the birth of the Communist Party of Hungary, particularly focusing on its factional struggles during the 1920s.

Finally, the essay examines the two most rooted interpretive prejudices concerning the Blum Theses, i.e. their alleged anticipatory character of the 'Popular Front' strategy and their purported distance from 'Socialfascism'.
