Here is a short abstract from his speech
prepared for the Conference "Let the Earth
live!" (an abstract in Russian concerning the
Hungarian aspects of Globalization is also
available):
Globalization has an obsessive instinct
to exterminate everything in human environment
that offers no immediate "profit" or
Nescafé-type instant "enrichment"
to the consumer-idiot crowd.
Thus, Hungarian "liberals" and
communists strive to liquidate Village (Деревня)
as a "non-profitable" form
of human settlement. Fanatically closing
village schools, surgeries, postal stations and
railway side-lines
as "non-profitable", they reject any
form of natural, traditional ideas and arts
typical for villages as "obsolete",
"nationalist" and "reactionary" . Former
Hungarian "liberal" Minister
of Economy billionnaire János Kóka said:
"When you set out to drain a marsh, you never
ask
the frogs". This cynicism manifestly
exposes the deep anti-democratic and illiberal
character of present-day Liberalism that
has ended in reducing Kóka's party SZDSZ from
24% to
less than 2% of the
electorate (at the 2009 Euro-parliamentary
vote).
Another "liberal", Péter Mihályi said
publicly: "There are no longer any villages
in Western Europe." This lie shows that
they want to uproot the Village because
precisely
this natural settlement is critical in
maintaining and perpetuating any nation's
character and
traditional healthy
human values as opposed to mad consumerism and
cosmopolitism. Today's Globalism
includes also Societal Darwinism, which smacks
of vulgar Hitlerism
and Stalinism.
