Seems they can get the necessary 2/3 of the 199 seats to start righting the changes done by Orban

    No. Combining pseudo-socialist economic policies with conservative social policies is literally national-socialism which you might know by some other names

    Without getting into the rest of it, that is not the case whatsoever. The Nazis weren’t even pseudo-socialist, they were definitely capitalist. There was still a capitalist class profiting off of the slavery and war, but only so long as they remained loyal to the party.

      The nazis absolutely did use social-populist rhetoric and promises on their way to power, and even did implement some nominally “socialist” policies like nationalization of certain war-related industries, public works, price controls, and a large degree of planning. It was also combined with union busting, privatization of other industries, huge deficit spending with intent to reclaim it with war plunder, and other obviously capitalist/imperialist moves, so it wasn’t real economic socialism of course. That said, Magyar’s platform is definitely nowhere near economic socialism either, it’s welfare capitalism at best.
