Dear Hungarian Friends!
At the beginning of the twentieth century, a completely new socio-economic system appeared in the world: with the birth of the Soviet Union, the first total state in world history was created. The left-wing movements promoting communism saw in their system a critique of capital and an alternative to capitalism, but in fact they achieved the most complete concentration of capital up to that point with pure materialism, i.e. they created the most extreme capitalism to date. They spread their ideology in the world with their network connection system, infecting a significant part of the human intelligentsia, but an unfathomably dark game began under the cover of world-changing ideas. Behind the ideological warfare, a hidden economic network of interests emerged, which even in the coldest years of the Cold War collaborated with the world closed off by the Iron Curtain, and Hungary became the loophole through which they could ensure the flow of capital. A money pump was started that robbed our country. Who operated this system and how? How were the processes leading to regime change manipulated? And how much did Hungary's fatal indebtedness have to do with the so-called "goulash communism"?
