The worst thing the article says about the "right-wing" Jobbik party that they want to get rid of corruption and want to "force" anyone who is getting government benefits to perform public service. How awful! (/sarc)
How they get from that to accusing them of Nazism is beyond me. Sound more like leftists everywhere accuse others of Nazism.
I can’t claim to know too much about Jobbik party beliefs but they seem to deliberately fashion themselves after fascists of the 1940s (flags, banners, uniforms, etc). They also have working relationships with groups like the BNP in the UK. You don’t do those sort of things if you’re trying to avoid being given the “Nazi” label.
I’m just saying...
Another BS example of the media associating ‘right wing’ with naziism.
People, there is going to a major conflagration somewhere in the NEAR future...maybe even in multiple places. Europe, Eurasia...the U.S....The media will declare it ‘right wing extremism’/naziism vs. normalcy (i.e., socialism) but the real battle ground would be properly labelled ‘individual liberty’.
We cannot be fooled by the ‘labellers’.
This is a bad thing?
What a hit piece this article is. Comparing right wing Jobbik with right wing gov't of the 1940s is not too far off, but to call it Fascist is a lie. Making the 1940s Hungarian gov't out as being terrible is also another falsehood -- the invastion of Hungary by Russia and its ensuing 22 years of communism was the darkest hour in Hungary's recent past. It was the right that gave Hungary progress -- it was the left that destroyed Hungary. Even the hard left communists are gone, the lefty socialists are still making their mark known and felt.
to the consternation of democrats and those old enough to remember the fascist past.
FASCISM is and always has been a LEFTIST IDEOLOGY, They are Blood Brothers to Communism
AFAIC, Nazis are Leftists, also. Hitler borrowed his Nazi salute from American Socialists and his swastika from the early Soviet Union (it was on several of their currency notes).
nazism, fascism is born from the left- it was the National *Socialist* German Workers Party.
Mussolini was a communist/socialist, as was his father, a contemporary and acquaintance of Karl Marx.
These guys are nationalists/fascists, and not right wingers.
Only a complete imbecile would try to bring up some fear of fascism from that.
Hey, I knew Obama was a 1930's-era Southern Agrarian, but I didn't know he was a Hungarian "far rightist" as well!
I don’t know anything about this. I found a commercial that appears to be for the movement. If there is anyone here who speaks the language, I’d like to know what’s being said here.

Nazis weren’t right wing.
Not Nazi’s just Hungarian patriots. The Hungarian Nazis were members of the Arrow Cross, who by the way were the last to surrender to the allies. They fought the Russians beyond May 8th. I think the word Roma, applies to the Gypsies, but I won’t swear to it.
