Orban vs. Soros is the deeply perceptive story of the early association and later polarization between Prime Minister Viktor Orban the Hungarian nationalist and the post-Hungarian globalist George Soros, illustrated throughout by pertinent historical parallels from the Roman Empire and European history. It throws a revealing light on the "globalist vs. particularist" social dynamics that presently define our collective life-dynamics that have come into clear relief in Russia, Ukraine, Western Europe, the United States, and many other places since the fall of Soviet Communism. It shows how Communism survived its own death by merging with Capitalism, to ultimately reincarnate itself as "soft Communism."
Looking at social forces through a comparatively simple lens, that of a small and apparently unimportant nation like Hungary, the book clearly illustrates how the same forces are operating on a larger scale in much more complex situations. It asks and answers many questions: What is globalism and who are the globalists? What do they want, how do they operate? How do gender (or the deconstruction of gender) and unlimited immigration serve the globalist cause? Can "absolute Liberalism" actually liquidate everything Liberalism ever stood for? And can Orban's "particularism"-the particulars in question being nation, culture, language, gender, and faith, if not humanity itself-avoid being turned by a campaign of relentless globalist slander into the kind of enemy that Soros's globalism needs to manufacture to justify its hegemony?
Gabor G. Fodor presents the Orban-Soros duel as an ultimately metaphysical struggle between two eternal principles: a horizontal universalism (Soros) that sees all boundaries as subversive and opposed to human freedom, and a vertical particularism (Orban) rooted in form, limitation, and tradition while descending from and being presided over by the metaphysical order, and the God Who created it. These are the poles between which human social life oscillates in the post-Soviet world, expressed as a liberal globalist hegemony promoting and acting out of a unipolar world, and a multipolar world of discrete nations, cultures, and histories. Orban vs. Soros swiftly cuts through the fog of present history to present a vivid picture of the forces impinging on all of us, and the inescapable choices we confront.
