'''Husákism''' names the regime of Gustáv Husák in post-1968 Czechoslovakia (1969–1987): "normalization" — the combination of political demobilization, consumerist compensation, and bureaucratic stasis that followed the Prague Spring's suppression.

== Content ==
* Purges of hundreds of thousands from party, jobs, and universities; the signatories of Charter 77 persecuted.
* The tacit social contract: political quietude exchanged for rising consumption — "goulash socialism" avant la lettre.
* Ideological life hollowed out: Marxism-Leninism recited, not believed; the party became an apparatus of administration, not revolution.

== Analytical use ==
Husákism is the pure form of '''bureaucratic consolidation''' — the stage Infrared identifies as terminal in late socialism: when the party stops leading class struggle and starts managing decline, it manufactures the very dissident intelligentsia (Havel, the Charter 77 milieu) that will inherit the state in 1989. Normalization didn't preserve socialism; it embalmed it (see [[Socialism With a Human Face]], [[Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev]]).
