No you didn’t. You think the Hungarian Revolution was a counter-revolution initiated by bourgeois reactionaries funded by the CIA, with no popular support. I think it was an uprising initiated by students that then became a massive proletarian revolution against the repression of the Rákosi government. You didn’t “address” this disparity. You just insulted me.
The book you cited doesn’t really talk about the revolution itself, so I have to infer that the author thinks that the psychological warfare waged by the West against the Warsaw Pact countries fooled the revolutionaries into revolting against their government because it convinced them that communism was bad. Again, although the CIA was present, I don’t accept this as the primary motivation for the revolution.
I suggest you work on your reading comprehension because I addressed your idea.
