The antipoem of Immoral Paradise

Hungary can be considered
the first successful
implementation of
Orwell's Animal Farm principles
in the post-World War II era
in Europe.

In this dystopia,
a post-fascist kleptocracy
relies upon propaganda slogans to uphold
the appearance of freedom, Christian values
and democracy while they acquire all resources
and build a modern version of feudalism
and oligarchy.

You would think that
a society rife with cronyism and nepotism
would be doomed to fail,
as the majority of people
would become unhappy and dissatisfied.
However, in certain cultures like Hungary,
where the corrupt practices are part of the mainstream culture:
The multitude is enchanted by it.
And
The minority,
who seek freedom,
have no other avenue but to feel frustrated,
angry, or move to another country.
It is incredibly disheartening
and difficult to put into words.

Most people often disregard solidarity
and lack of pluralism until they are personally affected;
they might think
solidarity is an exotic tropical infection.
They have their own parallel universe
led by corruption and propaganda.
And lie.
There is nothing
I can do to alter the situation,
so the only option is to try
and summarize the situation 
as honest as possible.
