		Self-evidently this distinction concurs with the RTC-Bohemian border, and it is caused primarily by practical reasons: the Silesians at the Bohemian side of the border had to cope with Bohemian typewriters and printing presses, while those at the other side had to content themselves with Venedic material.
		In Bohemia, Silesian parties had existed already for a longer time: the social-democratic Slezana Partia de Laboratoře i Minaři (Silesian Workers' and Miners' Party) was founded as early as the 1870s, but during its entire existence it was always more like a regional party than a national one.
		The DMS became the first Silesian political organisation to operate both in Bohemia and in the RTC; it incorporates the remnants of both the LS and the SPD, is represented in both parliaments, and in a way it can be seen as the “political arm” of the afore-mentioned KLS.
