The long read: Over the past decade, Hungary has been a beacon for the ‘postliberal’ right, with pro-Trump thinkers making regular pilgrimages to Budapest. Now Orbán is gone, how will the movement adapt?

    Sorry but what is this nonsense, at least in the headline?

    The far-right is, thanks to the stupidity of voters and massive influence campaigns paid for by the owner class, marching to victory in most countries around the globe. So what fucking ,last bastion" is mentioned here?

      The nuance you are missing is that this culmination began with Hungary as the blueprint so if the blueprint just got kicked out the door by the people of Hungary when everyone thought it was unlikely what does that say about this current surge?

      I don’t disagree with the spirit of what you are saying, but that is the nuance.

    A quick reminder that Orban was not only a close ally of MAGA in the U.S. but also of Putin’s Russia and Xi’s China.

    Is this a fucking joke???

    They are surging in Germany and France and Brazil.

    They are firmly in control in China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, and iran,

      I don’t think this article disputes that, the focus is on the ideological basis and blueprint for this rise in fascism/extremist rightwing movements… which was Orban’s Hungary.
