Activist hysteria as measurement of reality, the case of Poland and Hungary
Maria Cernat and Boyan Stanislavski discuss in this edition of On the Barricades a report claiming that Poland is the worst place for the LGBT community despite the fact that recent research shows that the LGBT community's acceptance in Polish society is improving. Maria Cernat then goes on to analyze the successes of Hungarian president Viktor Orban, whose prospects of winning elections grew significantly, according to a poll taken in March. The poll indicates that he would win three quarters of the parliamentary seats. Meanwhile in Hungary the police repressed a couple of thousands of protesters gathered in front of Viktor Orban's office. Maria Cernat tries to analyze the sources of Orban's success despite strikes and protests. She also makes the point that essentializing the LGBT stance the performance and success of a politician does not offer a comprehensive explanation. Moreover, linking the LGBT cause to that of security institutions and corporations of the collective West may prove a very dangerous strategy in the long run.

Activist hysteria as measurement of reality, the case of Poland and Hungary
I believe, like Maria that the success of Orban is owed to his being seen as an independent voice for Hungary against the bid bad EU. But that is only a partial reason.
But the crux of the matter is that Orban owes allegiance to the theocratic extreme Chrsitian right that is directly connected to the US and many other countries engaged in a growing fascist international.
Capitalism is now more of an economic nationalism than a global capitalist movement.
In fact, the nationalism of today is comparable on many levels with 1914.
Tyrants like Orban arise when they capture the people who believe in supernaturalism, such as Christianity, which is many people.
But the main issue is econoic: Hungary produces very little, has had a mass exodous of youth within the last decade, is highly xenophobic and has little global significance, at the moment.
