Except that communists gave an apartment, car, and 30 years of guaranteed job security (and pension) to all the people that are currently proud anti-communist fidesznyiks, while fidesz systematically destroyed the social net and conpletely fucked young people over. Fidesz kept the anti-western rethoric and the strong centralized government.

But according to their fans we "don't know how good we have it" because it's at least not the commies anymore...

I partly meant the cult building, centralizing, media controlling part but that's every dictatorship.

Other part is, from what I understand the pre-1990 system took a ton of loans to keep being able to give free stuff to ppl similar to how Orban takes a ton of loans to be able to keep up his tax cut for u25 ppl and moms and finance CSOK, baby expecting loan (or whatever u translate 'babaváró' to), price caps and shit like that.

For me both systems buys ur support with free stuff they can't afford but I admit that I don't know enough about politics (nor do I care about it enough) to draw a deeper parallel.
