	In Honor of Franz Joseph by Carlo Stagnaro
		Austria’s soul is not the centre, it is the periphery.
		Franz Werfel once said that "nation-states are demoniac units by their own essence." For this reason, the Austrian novelist celebrated the wisdom of the Austrian Empire, pointing out the impossibility (in Vienna, Prague or Budapest) of creating a mystic and romantic idea of the nation-state.
		Significantly enough, Franz Joseph was always opposed to the anti-semitic movement of Karl Lueger, the Christian-Socials: "any anti-semitic movement should be halted at its birth." He repeatedly vetoed Lueger’s election as Mayor of Vienna, showing how the "absolute" power of the Emperor was less absolute, and far less dangerous than the power of democratic bodies.
