Hungary keeps proving Stalin right Nazi-sympathizers in Hungary are now completely free to sell their wares and they are making progress -- thanks to imperialism's continuing existence. The fascists are raising legal technicalities against the execution of Hungarian Prime Minister Laszlo Bardossy after World War II and they seek a retrial of the pro-Nazi war criminal. Many conservatives and far-rightists are easy fodder for Nazism, because they do not understand why the Stalin-led Red Army occupied Hungary after the war. The poor quality of education in high school is to blame: Hungary turned over the bulk of its armed forces to the Nazis for use against the Soviet Union. Occupying Hungary was a matter of occupying a former military enemy. During his rule, Laszlo Bardossy oversaw the sexual separation of Jews and gentiles, institutionalization of slave labor and the outright ethnic cleansing of Jews and Serbs, which led to the deaths of up to 600,000 Jews in Hungary. Once the Soviet Union fell apart, and there seemed even less chance of genuine communists returning to the political stage, the fascists stepped up their activities in bourgeois republics throughout Eastern Europe. This is why there was ethnic cleansing in ex-Yugoslavia. One factor involved is that the less influence Stalin had in a country, the more likely it was to be allowed back to its old ethnic cleansing ways. The capitalist and imperialist country rulers are counting on the historical ignorance of the oppressed and exploited to resuscitate Nazism, an ideology of capitalism. The Hungarian MIEP party seeking to rehabilitate Hungary's pro-Hitler politicians is already a power in the elected government, because the ruling rightwing coalition cannot rule without MIEP's tacit support. The MIEP is now calling the World War II Hungarian Nazi-supporters "martyrs" and the MIEP stance on the European Union (EU) is that it is an international Jewish conspiracy. MIM does not support the dismantling of the European Union: That's a task for economic nationalists and neo-Nazis.
