Hungary has become the EU's poorest country in household welfare, with consumption at 72% of the EU average, according to Eurostat data.

Factors like low wages and high inflation contribute to this decline.
Economics is hardly a prejudice. You’re not making a lot of sense, anyway.
Surely pointing to China is a better way to make the point that liberal democracy is not the only road to riches. I simply want to encourage people to take a hard-nosed look at the tenets of liberal democracy. They are not a revealed truth. They prevailed for a reason.

That could be manufactured by giving more funding to liberal democracies.
Funding by who? God? Certainly not all the other democracies that just so happen to work well.

Unless the resources come from exploitation.
No.

And eastern Germany was a shithole, so how is that supposed to be an argument?
Compared to the rest of the east?
Being the best socialist dictatorship doent mean anything if its still much worse than most social democracies
For you. It was still the place to compare the systems.
