It’s generally considered poor form to celebrate on a day of national mourning. It’s even more improper if the people celebrating on said day are the descendants of the people who are the reason why the day is considered a low point in a nation’s history. Yet on the evening of November 4th last week, on the 53rd anniversary of the Soviet invasion that ended the 1956 Revolution, a Socialist Party function attended by former Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsány was held in Füzesabony to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the Socialist Party, mno.hu reported. While the reason for the celebration wasn’t the Soviet invasion, but that twenty years ago the Socialist Workers Party dropped “workers” from their name, couldn’t they have thought to move the festivities by a day in either direction? At the very least it’s insensitive.
Gyurcsány and Socialists Celebrate on 53rd Anniversary of Soviet Invasion

Who cares about holocaust denial when you have Communism denial? Jews that’s who.
We have a government that is not interested in Hungarians only foreigners and selected minority parties, distressing article, but another truth that is not focused upon. Ahh!! However if they were of another race it would be a totally different scenario, even if that other scenario was fabricated and preached by Demagogues.
Thanks for the article..
Why should not we Jews celebrate the victory of our Soviet brothers? We created Communism, we murdered millions for Comrade Stalin and we are still in power in Hungary.
Some Jew hating, anti-Semite, Nazi Hungarians (and even Americans) may lament the destruction of the Soviet Army, the rape of millions of little girls and very old women, the murder and enslavement of millions of boys and men for our glory. Let them lament. We do not care. If one million Arabs are not worth a Jewish fingernail (Rabbi Yaacov Perrin), how much do you think Hungarians are worth?
The only important thing is that Comrade Stalin put our brother Rakosi and our Jewish brethren in charge of Hungary and we murdered and tortured thousands of Hungarians because it pleased us. Some would call us Jews, sadistic, perverse mass murderers but we know hat they are Jew hating, anti-Semite, and Nazis. Anybody who is against us is a Jew hating, anti-Semite, and Nazi.
We managed to rule Hungary for 65 years and if the Hungarians do not wise up, we steal everything they have and everything their children and children’s children will ever have. We deserve it because we are the chosen people and we are the victims.
It is about time Hungarians passed a strong Holocaust denier law. Pull out the fingernails of everyone who even thinks of denying anything about our cherished Holocaust. We also shoot your eyes out to teach you love and compassion for us Jews and an appreciation of our Holocaust.
Four more years for our brothers and sisters in the MSZP and SZDSZ! If only we could still have Comrades Stalin and Rakosi with us…
Me again…

Nobody denies Communism. Morons deny the Holocaust.
Right no one denies communism, but it seems that western left-wing media still denies the great crimes committed by communism, even Russia to this day still refuses to offer an apology, when Germany and Japan have done for their roles
The crimes of Soviet Russia are a very long way away from the Hungarian reformers of the 1980s. The ones who, as you can see all over the world’s media these days, are largely repsonsible for the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of the Cold War.

“The crimes of Soviet Russia are a very long way
away from the Hungarian reformers of the 1980s”
This is a lie and you know it. Or if you do not,
please get your facts straight before spreading
these lies.
The crimes of these so-called ‘reformers’ are just
as equal as the Russians did to their own people
and other oppressed peoples. I am sorry, not the
Russians, but the communists from the former
Soviet Union.
Most of these so-called ‘reformers’ were nothing
else (as it is proven 20 years later) than
opportunity seekers who were at the ‘right place
at the right time’ to transfer their political
power to financial profit. The transformation did
not require a bloodshed because the former
communists (the biggest capitalists now) and their
children were able to keep their power in the
economy. That was the price Hungarians had to pay
for their ‘freedom’.
As far as the ‘activity’ of the ‘reformers’ could
not have happened without Soviet approval. It was
NOT the so-called ‘reformers’ who were so ‘brave’
to defy the Soviet Union. Oh, no. Everything was
planned out and orchestrated by Gorbachev and his
administration. These great Hungarian ‘reformers’
could have tried their ‘reforms’ during Brezhnev
or Andropov (“Andropov played a key role in
crushing the Hungarian Revolution.”,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuri_Andropov) and
see where they would have gone. NOTHING was
possible without Soviet approval and anybody who
states the opposite is not telling the truth.
Thanks

Indeed, this is one of our greatest accomplishments; we managed to remake our image from Stalin’s most feared Communists into champions of freedom. Some may recall that Gyurcsany’s wife (Klára Dobrev), the granddaughter of Antal Apro (born Antal Klein) was a Communist mass murderer whose family enjoys the fruits of wealth earned by slaughtering thousands of Hungarians.
It is safe to say that most of Hungary’s post-Communists were able to rob the Hungarians they have and they will ever have using their Communist power structure they reinvented as MSZP.
We Jews are proud to say that most of these Communist murderers turned wealthy capitalists are our sadistic, cruel, mass murderer Jewish brothers and sisters but if any of you goys dare say that, we will call you Jew haters, anti-Semites and Nazis.

Roamerw1970: The Soviet Union was responsible for the deaths of million of its own people in the Ukraine famine of the 1930s, and suppressed nations throughout Eastern Europe.
The Hungarian reform communists introduced elements of a free market and took actions that led to the fall of the Berlin Wall, the end of the Cold War and the liberation of those nations. Can you see the difference now?
Hungarians have to live with the fact that they put the MSZP government and former prime minister,
Gyurscany Ferenc, in charge.
A malevolent ,double-dealing idiot, who single-handedly dragged Hungary into the gutter. Not looking at the stars but a hopelessly, grim future.
