Czech National Social Party ( Czech : Česká strana národně sociální , ČSNS ) is a civic nationalist political party in the Czech Republic , that played an important role in Czechoslovakia during the interwar period . It was established in 1897 by break-away groups from both the national liberal Young Czech Party and the Czech Social Democratic Party , with a stress on achieving independence of the Czech lands from Austria-Hungary (as opposed to the Social Democrats' aim for an international workers' revolution). Its variant of socialism was moderate and reformist rather than a Marxist one. After the National Labour Party dissolved and merged with National Socialists in 1930, the party also became the refuge for Czech liberals. Its best-known member was Edvard Beneš , a co-founder of Czechoslovakia and the country's second President during the 1930s and 1940s.
