Idealistically? Yes. I wholeheartedly agree. Capitalism will always encourage unfair competition, whereas socialism will strive to end it by its very definition.
I'm just still unconvinced that the post Soviet nations, as a whole, suffer the same "communism withdrawal symptom". The systematic pressures might be so that switching to Communism now will simply fail again (and let's not forget the dear old CIA... eh?).
Again, hope I'm wrong, but I don't see the point you're making as clearly as you do. I think it is a more complicated situation, but I sure do think that being more socialist wouldn't hurt them.
And I can't repeat this enough, remove Orban the dictator from power.
Unfortunately, I expect that things are going to get worse before they get better. I don't think people who are in power now will simply let it go the way communists did.
