As bad as the 'Blocks' are they are to this date housing many millions of people and despite 30 years of capitalism there has been no equivalent to date. The money is there but it is far more concentrated now. The communist system was terrible in many ways, and economically a complete disaster. But: you had a (very small and cramped) place to live, petty crime was next to non existent (corruption though, was rampant) and your pension was guaranteed.

When the wall fell it became a free-for-all overnight, all that security went out the window and not much was done to replace it. A couple of people got obscenely rich and plenty of people dropped well below the poverty line. It is that which powers the rise of assholes like Orban: the people that yearn for the bad situation they were in before because at least they knew just how bad it was.
