You’re applying US patterns to places you don’t understand.

I'm not american.

I didn't say that, only that there is no one "capitalist" system with patterns that apply everywhere. You said that the government of Hungary is subservient to its financial class, but there is no financial class in Hungary that's separate from the government.

They didn't say you're American, they're saying you're applying US patterns to places you don't understand, which you certainly don't have to be American to do.
