Hungarian Choices in the Light of State Propaganda

Mate Hajba and Free Market Foundation/April 22, 2017August 7, 2017 /Leave a comment

Just like communism, Orbán’s regime is unsustainable and doomed to fail. Just like the communists, the current government sees only the collective, rather than the individuals. And the individuals who don’t share Orbán’s illiberal ideas are getting angry.Once again, they want liberty.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Fake News

Mate Hajba and Free Market Foundation/March 2, 2017March 2, 2017 /Leave a comment

Fake news are like religion, you must believe them despite of all common sense and evidence to the contrary. Like any radical religion, it must be protected at all costs. And so, in the fifth volume, Dolores Umbridge made Harry write lines, etching them into his own skin, saying: “I must not tell lies”.

Terrified Hungary

Mate Hajba and Free Market Foundation/February 7, 2017August 7, 2017 /Leave a comment

We must not remain silent, we must not accept fear. The government is still in power because it made people believe that it will protect them from the immigrants, NGOs, the EU and capitalistic and imperialistic American interests. And in the meantime they make people terrified of dissent.

Hungarian Civility

Mate Hajba and Free Market Foundation/January 11, 2017August 7, 2017 /3 Comments

With no independent media, no checks and balances, no civil oversight, one of the most corrupt governments in the EU can expand on its already immense powers and get even closer to Putin’s Russia. But it is not too late to act and save what remains of civil society in Hungary.

Castro’s Looming Shadow

Mate Hajba and Free Market Foundation/January 10, 2017August 7, 2017 /Leave a comment

Years after communism failed spectacularly with the demise of the Soviet Union, long after the horrendous deeds of the collectivist dictatorships became well known, there are still people who have the audacity to laud mass murderers of the likes of Fidel Castro.

Where is the Freedom of the Hungarian Media?

Dora Boldizsar and Free Market Foundation/January 10, 2017August 7, 2017 /Leave a comment

The non-partisan or opposition media in Hungary is in decline as the influence of the government increases, since the populist governing party owns a large part of the local media. The government takes more and more drastic steps to silence voices of dissent.

Blockbuster Politics

Mate Hajba and Free Market Foundation/January 7, 2017August 7, 2017 /Leave a comment

The answer to populism is not more populism. Demagogues can be defeated without lies. In the recent U.S. election two extremely untrustworthy candidates tried to outbid each other in telling the biggest lies. You can promise blood, sweat and tears and still be loved.

South Park Politics

Mate Hajba and Free Market Foundation/November 2, 2016August 7, 2017 /Leave a comment

The Trump phenomenon has left analysts baffled. Who would have thought that such a clown can stand a real chance of becoming the next President of the United States? While most of the experts were still figuring out what on earth has happened, the explanation came from an unlikely source: South Park.

REVIEW #5 AFTERWORD: Let Us Share What We Do Best

Mate Hajba, Free Market Foundation and 4liberty.eu/October 22, 2016December 13, 2016 /Leave a comment

Sharing and digital economies usually thrive together in happy symbiosis. Digitalization, easy access to the Internet, apps and smartphones made sharing behaviors easier, and provided a platform for buyers and sellers to find each other. The question of the digital and sharing economy is not a purely economic or legal one.

Why Should Hungarians Care?

Mate Hajba and Free Market Foundation/October 12, 2016August 7, 2017 /Leave a comment

Recently, the operations of the newspaper Népszabadság in Hungary were suspended. So what’s the big deal? It was a left to centre newspaper anyway, you will read some other newspaper instead. It generated giant losses, and its numbers have plummeted – you will hear, so the private owners were right to kill it off.
