21:05 it wasn't initially "communist" it was a republic. The communists took over by force a coupe commanded by Lenin. Under the new Soviet Republic government that only lasted a year because Romanian Army invaded Hungary and took over.
That's when the ensuing misery and strife, plutocrats that the only way to pacify the mass of people was via stark nationalism, racism, and the mindless masses so accustom abiding by the fear of a king that they would of course install a monarchy again.
(Similar to the messy spats from 1790 to 1958 in France: France revolution and great terror then Napoleon then counter Napoleon then back to Napoleon monarchy then a republic, then that fell part in the invasion of NAZI Germany, then their most resent actual republic constitution 1958... messy... kind of like Hungary... just without any colonial wealth).
So then Hungary became a fascist freak show puppet state of later NAZI Germany.
Then after WWII, it became a puppet state of the USSR under state capitalism aka soviet communism. Then 1989 USSR decided it was far more profitable to quit feigning communistic ideals and go full hardcore oligarchical capitalism, Hungary formed it's own oligarch controlled government 1989 to 2012. 2011 enforced 2012, a new constitution effectively making yet another governmental type with a fiat party with it's controlling party literally declared in the constitution... kind of like many other sham republics today and in the past.
So yeah. It's still a bit of a quagmire in Hungary.
The will of the people just subverted at every moment in favor of monarchs, plutocrats, and ideologues who don't really care about democracy.
