Like the glossed over fact that US occupation and military domination of Italy, rather than populist uprising, is what kept Italy with its economic system undisturbed? The US didn't even try to hide what it was doing during the fixed elections of 1948, by the time of Gladio, P2, strategy of tension etc. it had become a little more hidden. The US still occupies Italy with seven military bases which alternately has hot dog pilots killing civilians ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cavalese_cable_car_disaster_%281998%29 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cavalese_cable_car_disaster_%28... ) when they're not kidnapping Arab nationalists ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_Omar_case http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_Omar_case ).
Hungary established a soviet republic on its own in 1919, so it's obvious there was a populist wellstream of worker's organizations to pull from. It's also obvious the post-1945 Hungarian people's republic was a popular government - if it wasn't, the USSR wouldn't have had to invade Hungary in 1956. Because Imre Nagy would have never become prime minister if the USSR had imposed the government by Russian occupation and military domination.
