    1. The USA right's love affair with Hungary is a prime example of what Orwell called "transferred nationalism" -- i.e ideologues idealizing foreign regime for qualities their homeland lacks (c.f. Shaw on USSR, Bozell II on fascist Spain)https://twitter.com/MazMHussain/status/1528773803001749505 …

    The conservative fawning over Hungary is very weird since there is obviously so little that Hungary can offer as a model to the U.S. Its not possible to govern an ethnically-diverse country of 330M that also runs a global empire in the same way as a small homogenous state of 9M.

        2. If you listened to the CPAC in Budapest speakers, it's clear that they see Obran's Hungary as not just an ally but a role model, an integralist City on a Hill. One speaker said, “We demand nothing short of an American Orbánism." He also said this:pic.twitter.com/ghHaoM2hcG

        3. CPAC in Budapest casts a new light on fascism debate. I take the point of critics of the fascist analogy that the preconditions of classical fascism (a mobilized mass party, total war militarizing generation) aren't here. But if social reality is lacking, aspiration is there

        Nationalism-ists, as I akwardly called them in a REASON article. Not for THEIR nation, which they despise, but just for angry harsh exclusivist chauvinism of any variety.

        That's right -- in some ways what they want is impossible in as heterogenous a society as USA. They need Hungary as a playground for their dreams.

        Definitely and I'm sure there's been some active promotion by Orban and his government. When all's said and done I'm sure financial ties will emerge.

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Urquhart … David Urquhart was another. He idealized a fictional Ottoman past pre-Tanzimat with just and all powerful sultans as what he thought Great Britain (and the Ottoman Empire) should be.

        Orwell also walked the walk, fighting against the fascists on the Spanish Republican side.
