I recall Professor Forgas’ lectures as a psychology student of his. A very engaging and noble man.

I vividly remember when the news came out here that a Hungarian couple with an 8 month baby tried to escape the country to the west in a hidden section of a truck. The mother wanted to smother the cries of the child at the Hungarian border but was so afraid to be detected she suffocated it. They did manage to make it to Austria but with their child being dead. It hounded me for weeks coz at the time our son was that age and now when I am writing this it still does have its impact on me. How can a mother live on after such a tragedy?

I grew up in the 70s in Hungary, for me socialism was the norm. Because I lived in a small village i didn't experience any fear of the communist party. In fact i was the member of the KISZ, we had great school activities and travels in the country. I had a great childhood, considering the circumstances. When i traveled to US in 1986 the first time i was amazed the things people enjoyed. I kept asking why can't we have them in Hungary? Even while the country is socialist we could enjoy life the way the Americans do. I ended up living in California, now Hungary is so different. When I go visit my family I miss the old country, the one I left. We have grown a lot in a positive direction, but we also adapted so many bad lifestyle and ideas. I am really sad about that.

I left as a 1 year old with my parents in February 2, 1957, when the border was almost sealed.

I saw the Lunar landing in a youth camp on Lake Balaton, ironic in the sense that no communist official dared to tell us it was a fantasy filmed in Hollywood (which many conspiracy theorists in the West still believe). I remember having to sing Beatles songs at the campfire for all the to enjoy , as it was considered deliciously subversive. Also getting requests for sending packages from Canada with Nestle's Quick (a huge sensation) as well as "even empty" Dunhill cigarette packaging to put their Bulgarian smokes in! and blue jeans were the most sought after Western commodity....With my dad, we met a Hungarian CP minister in a famous Budapest restaurant, who once plied with enough alcohol, got up ON the table and shouted" Me, a Communist? hahahaha! How else can I get a Rolex, Gucci shoes, suits from Saville Row and a BMW? " .

His observations of the attitude towards Communism hold true to this day!

Well since I'm much younger I could only leave in 85. But I was lucky cause for no reason I applied for the blue passport that is title you to go to the West. So in 1984 was the time that Austria and Hungary got rid of duty and the visa between the 2 countries. They thought I just turned 18 just fresh out of the school no money and just wanted for the next round when the mandatory army service you have to do. 1 1/2 years. So in 85 April, I got my passport and by June 15 I left legally. But they accepted me as a refugee cause it was still communist. I came to Canada before I was 19 so I came as a minor who didn't need any reason to come. Oh, I left by myself. I was a smoker back then and as an adult, I enjoyed life but for 6 weeks upon my arrival I couldn't cause in Canadian law I was still a miner. But by 87 or 89 they lowered the age to 18. Though smoking and drinking still 19. I got a job in my trade cause I had schooling and trade and I did learn the language and in a year's time my English was at the conversational level. I wanted to go to school but it was expensive and at the same time I had to live pay rent work so I could eat, so it was impossible for me to go to school never mind pay for it. Yes, I'm safe now and made a life here a family on my own with 2 daughters and now a granddaughter. But as a new immigrant/refugee back then there wasn't any help or how to blend into Canadian society. Only helps how to get a job but that is all. Especially when you're a young man. For 5-6 years I struggled cause "Oh, you're just a boy your whole life is ahead of you" etc. None of them knew I was all alone and needed an apartment a job a car (in 86 I went to get my driver's license) Just think even today a single 19 years old kid knocks on your door looking for a full-time job or wants to rent an apartment or how many years of experience you have? Any reference for the apartment? How long have you working full time how much do you make and your banking and first and last month? So this was when Canada should've helped me out to start in life cause nobody would rent me out an apartment so as a new Refugee be on the street it was okay cause by then I wasn't a kid so as a 19-year-old teenager what to do? So unlike today, they get spending money on school like English as a second language and housing and you only pay 1/3 of your pay until you get on your feet and are on your own as others. So as a young adult even today there's no help in Canada. Only to families and women. Even in shelters, you can only stay a few weeks then they kick you out. For housing takes 20 years to wait. As a young single;e guy forget it. Families are priorities. So I struggled to make it and I'm proud of what I accomplished cause I got no help from anybody, especially from the Dear Canadian government. BTW to open a bank account or have credit you need ID and then an address it's an all-wishes circle. Only time you know if you lose your wallet. But when you just arrived in the country you have nothing so where to start? All I had was my Hungarian passport and the yellow blended immigrant paper in it without an address there you go. where you start BTW I wasn't speaking any English back then. BS "Welcome to Canada" the land of the free! BS is not for Big Smile! lol.

I left Hungary in 1982, as a 17 year old young man with my brother, he was 23. We had a decent life in Hungary under that regime, but it was light years behind Austria and Germany and the US. To get Levi's jeans we had to go to a black market to buy some. Most people could only buy 1 per year. I visited most parts of Hungary as a young guy with my friends, we hitchhiked everywhere, we had sleeping bags and our change of clothing was rolled inside it. Had very little money, but we could recycle other people's empty beer bottles and that was enough money for food. We slept outskirts of town in parks, on rainy days we slept in bus stops. We went to Lake Balaton, Debrecen, Holloko, Eger, Tokaly, Pecs, Niregyhaza, etc. Those were so much fun times as a young man. We never knew that there was such thing as 6 puttonyos Tokaly Aszu, because in the stores you could only buy 3 puttonyos. Now I sleep in nice hotels, but still have lots of fun with my four children and great wife, we visit as many countries as we can in Europe and still spend some time in Hungary with them every few years. The cars were horrendous, the two stroke engines spewed toxic fumes everywhere. I didn't realize while living there why all the buildings in Budapest were grey and the air bad smelling. Anything you touched left a thin layer of dirty film on your hand. After the regime change in the '90s when I visited again and walked the streets of Budapest I realized that those houses were not grey anymore, people pressure washed them, and you could see yellow, blue, green, red, white etc buildings. It blew my mind how pretty the city looked with all that awesome architecture. The air was cleaner as well, because most of the East German and Russian and Romanian cars were replaced by West German and Italian cars with much cleaner burning engines. By the way, the education system was quite decent, but to get a college degree you either had to be a genius or needed political connection, otherwise you wouldn't get in. I had neither, my b+ average wasn't good enough to get in a university. Luckily, it was good enough for the US and I got a college degree, the first in my family.

Because of the stones reflecting heat, the grapes can be left on the vine longer. They become really sweet and are harvested when they are raisin looking. The people harvesting the grapes carry a backpack called "puttony". (That's where they place the grape during picking). To make this special wine named Aszu you start with 100 liters of local white wine, and you add the raisin grapes to it. Backpack=puttony. The least you do is 3 per 100 liters, the most I heard of was 7, but that is already very sweet, almost like honey. I have some at home, come over bring Steve aka Pisti along and we'll sample some!

Regarding "Capitalism or socialism, always the same." That is a false statement. Perhaps you mean human nature is the same. The United States, the most successful capitalist country in the history of the world has provided more security, freedom and prosperity for more millions of people than any other nation on this planet. That is one essential difference that disqualifies your notion that "capitalism or socialism, always the same." Another fundamental difference that sets America apart from other nations is our Constitution which states "We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness." Whether you live life as an atheist or a Christian or other religion this is an essential difference in the American system of governance as it informs the entire economic system of the country. Essentially it means that you, not the state, have ownership of your property and the innate right to pursue happiness. The state does NOT have the right to give or take away your freedom and rights without cause, nor does it have the right to force you to cooperate and be "empathetic" (as you mentioned) to anyone by force of law, but rather by what your individual conscience dictates for you alone.

Fascinating story - those who grew up in a liberal democracy probably can't even imagine what it is like to live in a totalitarian communist state where as a person you have absolutely no rights, and a single monolithic state bureaucracy controls everything around you - the media, churches, corporations, housing, sports clubs, social services, unions and every other social institution is run by the same party apparatus. The state has absolute control over where you can live, where you can work, if and where you can study, if you are allowed to travel, what you can buy, who you are allowed to meet, what you can read and listen to.... This nightmare society is the direct implementation of marxist doctrine, perhaps the most noxious and murderous ideology in all of human history, directly responsible for a hundred million deaths and untold human misery. All the claims and predictions of Marx have been conclusively falsified long ago, as Karl Popper convincingly showed - yet many left-wing Western intellectual still adhere to this inhumane belief system, posing as well-intentioned proponents of progress and equality. It is high time to wake up and realize that marxism represents a deadly threat to human liberty and well-being, and its more recent tribal incarnations - woke-ism, cancel culture, political correctness, identity politics and 'critical theory' should be emphatically rejected by everyone who cares about human liberty and flourishing. This video is a historical reminder of what is at risk - we must learn from history so we don't have to repeat it!

My family left Hungary in 1957,after we were arrested twice in late 56 trying to cross the border .We ended up in Sydney,my brother was 10 years old, 5 months older than you and I'm nearly 6 years older than you. So we grew up in similar circumstances. I would like to know what your childhood was like in your formative years. The education system under communism was superior to that of Australia,particularly up to 18 years of age . Medical cover was free and universal albeit at a somewhat primitive level . It seems you were able to attend uni in Hungary. More than likely your family had the right credentials. It's important to know what influences you were under in your formative years.That could have added to your success in Australia. As you're aware many Hungarians who migrated to Australia became leading lights in that society. Why do you think that happened? Was there something which made us so successful while growing up in Communist Hungary? Did you ever wonder about that?

Based on what I think of my personality I may have lived a content life in a Socialist country. In a way I think it would have been okay but of course such a life is easy to romanticise such a life when living a comparatively easy life with material wealth. Too many people think Socialism will help us. It may in the short term. However in the long term the lack of freedom Socialism requires will lead to poverty and unhappiness.

15:54 perfectly sums up why fascism is classicalist in nature and is anti-socialist or “white” (as in “anti-red”), despite the “National Socialist” name in Germany, which came about at a time when the Nazis included both left and right wing extremists, in power the Nazis were not social revolutionaries, in fact their rise to power was based off the growing danger of communist social revolution, unfortunately when a country is on the edge of sliding to communism you don’t really get to choose your leaders, it’s basically whoever is left that will protect business and save classical society, sometimes you get a benign bureaucrat like Salazar, sometimes you get a genocidal maniac like Hitler, whoever will save the country from collapse to communism. It’s an incentive to not come too close to Communism. The system he speaks of is currently still wreaking havoc on the world as the CCP attempts to censor the entire world and take over global trade, economy and thought

So called communism (rather, the social revolution) in USSR improved living conditions and education for the vast majority of people. There was terrible poverty and illiteracy throughout Russia in 1917 and the revolution transformed life expectancy, health, education and dignity for most people profoundly by the 1960s. The story is similar in China, with average life expectancy 40 years old in 1950 and 75 years old when Mao returned, with similar improvements in literacy from 10% to 75% over the same period. The advances in China today are almost small compared to the major advances early on when imperialist capitalism was overcome, no small feat.

That may be half true but why the overbearing Authoritarianism?

There are always 2 sides to a story, though communism failed , it did have its own glory days . The regimes had secure jobs but unfortunately no one was rich , only if Communism provided more freedom to the people , would have been a different story.

Meanwhile in capitalist world oppression is for everyone, except the rich. OF COURSE everyone wants to escape to the USA!!! But why dont they escape to Congo? To Haiti? To Central America and the Banana Republics? Those are also capitalist countries. Probably thousands of soviets fell for the illusion and died trying to escape to Western Europe and USA, where all the riches of the world are accumulated. But what's not talked about is that almost every capitalist nation (outside of the G7) we are speaking about dozens and dozens of countries. All of these nations had huge inner power struggles because millions of people wanted communism. The soviets censored right wingers and shut them off... But the USA waged full WAR on everyone unhappy under capitalism: Severe repression, terrorism, massive torture, drug cartels, paramilitary groups, contras, dictatorships, muhajideen. Almost every Latin American nation developed guerrillas and civil wars. These guerrillas were not created by the USSR, they first arose organically and later on in the conflict USSR provided weapons. But these were entirely organical movements of the people from the start.

if Latin America had become communist, I'm 100% sure all the food problems in USSR would have been completely solved. We have abundance of fruits and vegetables of all kinds. Bananas, mangoes, pineapples, oranges, strawberries, coffee, corn, potatoes, etc. Potatoes are actually a biotechnological invention by early native americans. The descendants of these native americans were markedly communist in the XX century. We also have vast extensions of land to grow up animals and cattle. Also availability of natural resources. Oil, gold, emeralds, lithium, copper. These resources would have been fraternally and selflessly shared among all soviet nations, in exchange of infrastructure and technology which we lacked.
