You seem to be outright lying (to yourself, perhaps?) In the face of evidence against your claims. Communism only provides “more democratic results that represent the people” in a utopian setting, of which Hungary under communism certainly did not. The artical outright states that the people behind the dissatisfaction numbers believe they don’t have a democracy, which makes so much sense now that u/maynarkh has explained that the very same elite under under communist rule solidified themselves into Hungary’s new government. Jesus. No wonder they’re unsatisfied.
Listen, I know it’s no fun to have your beliefs shaken, heaven knows that’s happened to me a few times and it sucks. But instead of digging your heels in and trying to twist the words of the articles you linked that you honestly believed backed up your claims, either find ones that actually do, or drop this one, cause anyone with a brain can figure out it actually doesnt.
You claimed in an earlier comment that those of us against communism outright lie to reach our claims. I honestly didn’t think you’d get offended if I suggested the same of you, so I apologize if I offended you.
Your willingness to cut off our conversation due to being offended over the suggestion you might be lying to yourself is pretty convenient. I was hoping you’d read what I wrote and think about it. You don’t have to change your views or beliefs, certainly, but engaging in these conversations is how you hone and are able to defend your beliefs on general.
I understand that up until now, Lemmy has been mostly made of anti-capitalists, so it can be jarring when pro-capitolists flood the space and push back against what’s essentially been an anti-capitalist circle-jerk. Totally understandable.

I haven’t told a single lie or engaged dishonestly with anyone. You can jog on if you think I’m reading past that sentence.
