Vytvoř si systém, nebo tě zotročí systém jiného
Create a System or a Different System will Enslave You

Summary/Abstract: The paper sets out to define critically the Czechoslovak underground, which arose at the end of the 1960s and was active until the fall of the communist regime in 1989. The concept of “the system”, to which the underground was reacting to critically, directly or indirectly, is used to illuminate the genesis of the movement. It’s coexistence with the Western counterculture is also emphasized. The author questions the established thesis that the underground was apolitical and introduces a critical distinction between the terms subculture and counterculture, politics and sub-politics, and system and chaos.
