Hungary has become the EU's poorest country in household welfare, with consumption at 72% of the EU average, according to Eurostat data. While Hungary's GDP exceeds some lower-income EU nations, its economic output isn't translating into improved living standards for families. Factors like low wages and high inflation contribute to this decline.
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.
Just like that? What makes you so sure? The reverse was true for the divided Germany. Both sides shifted resources there to make their system look good in comparison.

That could be manufactured by giving more funding to liberal democracies.
Funding by who? God? Certainly not all the other democracies that just so happen to work well.
But seriously, if a system works so well that it can support multiple countries with the resources of a single one, thats an even better argument.
Unless the resources come from exploitation.
No.

And eastern Germany was a shithole, so how is that supposed to be an argument?
Compared to the rest of the east?
Being the best socialist dictatorship doent mean anything if its still much worse than most social democracies
For you. It was still the place to compare the systems.
