Hungary’s post-WWII puppet government under Stalin made Imre Nage dictator. In 1956, when Hungary rose up against the Soviets, Nage took Hungary’s side and ran off to the West when the Soviets, using Oriental troops, crushed the Hungarians.
The token Communist grad student in the uniquely free market econ program at the University of Virginia when I was there knew Nage personally. It never occurred to anybody to suppress Communists, only racists like me. You know how it is.
The Commie was delighted with Nage. Nage made it clear that he was not just a good Communist, but a great STALINIST.
Hungarians who escaped from Soviet Occupation remained good leftists. The list of civil rights activists after 1956 always included the Hungarian Refugees. Like Israeli Jews, they were good solid anti-whites. When I was in Hungary trying to liberate their people they were in American doing their part in doing away with whites.
Do you get anything from this?

Imre Nage was a Jew first, a Communist second and a Hungarians third. Many of the refuges from the 1956 uprising adhered to this formula, it is just that they added American as a fourth loyalty. The Christains who fled followed a different path. They are frequently accused of being anti-Semitic which they can be and for damned good reasons. David Irving’s Uprising! The Hungarian Revolution of 1956 is available free online. It is a good read.

It looks like liberators got something from this.

The 1956 uprising was anti-jewish more than anti-soviet. The British Defence minister Alan Clark includes an amusing story in his published Diaries, told to him by a Hungarian official in the early 90s, after the fall of communism. This official was being interviewed for a promotion within the communist government apparatus in the 70s.
Official – “I have to tell you that I was arrested for homosexual activities when I was younger. I hope that doesn’t harm my prospects.”
Interviewer – “Oh my dear chap, don’t worry about that. We’re all adults, and it was a long time ago. Please don’t give it another thought.”
Official – “And my mother was jewish.”
Interviewer – (long pause) “What did you say about your homosexual activities again?”
