a bit obscure, but great book: The Nutmeg's curse by indian Amitav Ghosh. It's basically connecting climate change to colonialism and capitalism, and the titular story of the nutmeg trees on the Banda islands and how the dutch east india company brutalized and ruined them.

All around the world and throughout history, same song. Autocrats only last as long as they keep their military-police and a majority of their civvies fed and feeling secure.
 
Hungarian opposition candidate Peter Magyar, who somehow did not get Navalnyed, yet, is campaigning in the heart of Orban's rural strongholds. He's a hunk, too.

Hopefully Tisza wins by enough that Orban can't steal it. No illusions, though. This is like Poland. The opponent of the fasc is rightwing. They just aren't fasc and they aren't pathologically against the EU.
