Today being a day to think about the Austrian divide between leftist cities (\u201cRed Vienna\u201d) and the rightist countryside (“Black Austria\u201d)… This bit\u2019s interesting:
However, Austrian political parties often stand accused of having \ndone little to come to terms with the past. Even at the beginning of the\n 21st century, Austria’s society bears the clear marks of division into \nthe "red” (socialist) and “black” (conservative) areas of influence that\n trace back to the time of the First Republic and its civil war. This \ncontinues to cause extensive parallelisation even where ideology rarely \nplays a role, such as in first aid services, automotive organisations \nand science.[citation needed]
Pillarisation! I did not know that.
