    If a story confirms your prejudices it’s important to look closely. Supposedly in Germany the companies reduced investments during socialist governments to make them look bad. I have no idea how to verify it but if Hungary is opposing the European structure this much, I would check for retaliations before feeling confirmed.

      Economics is hardly a prejudice. You’re not making a lot of sense, anyway.

      Surely pointing to China is a better way to make the point that liberal democracy is not the only road to riches. I simply want to encourage people to take a hard-nosed look at the tenets of liberal democracy. They are not a revealed truth. They prevailed for a reason.

        That could be manufactured by giving more funding to liberal democracies.
