"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

after his first 2/3 win, orban did rig the system in the winner's favor (which worked out nicely for him until it didnt).

but yeah, he was able to stay in power this long partly because of election rule shenanigans, partly because he took immediately control of as much of the media as he could, but in large part because none of the so-called opposition parties seemed to try anything.

  • they didnt try to understand why and how orban won, they just scolded voters for voting wrong
  • they didnt try to go outside the cities and talk to rural voters and win them over
  • they didnt try doing something between elections, just came out every 4 years like a bear after winter and then went back to sleep

no wonder that the actual force to defeat fidesz came from disaffected ex-fidesz people. the older opposition parties are still useless and dazed.
