    I recommended reading the Wikipedia entry for the liberal POV, the Prolewiki entry for the Marxist point of view, and the Red Sails article by Nia Frome for a modern contextualization of how the term is used today from a Marxist POV. Prolewiki isn’t “grokopedia,” it has its sources listed clearly.

    Secondly, the book I referenced, The Truth About Hungary by Herbert Aptheker, heavily relies on citing western sources like the New York Times (which you can see if you actually read my comment). Aptheker backs up his claims heavily.

    It was a fascist uprising because the ones going through with the counter-revolution let Nazis captured during World War II out of jail, and were lynching Jewish people and communists. You can frame this as “pro-democracy” all you want, but this was factually documented. You’re correct about one thing, everything I don’t like isn’t Hitler, but the actual Nazis let out of jail were actual Nazis.
