Most theories of radicalization focus on the birth of antidemocratic
ideas, semantics, behavior patterns and organizations. However, such
focus is one-sided: radicalization is as much about the forgetting of
historical lessons and the weakening of a democratic consensus, as the
spreading of populist ideas. A case study of public and private
processes of memory transmission in Hungary reveals how the ambiguous
relation to modernization affects political formation: the failures
provoke populist reactions, while the successes result in political
indifference. The combination of these two political cultures creates
a dangerous compound including both the opportunity for the birth of
antidemocratic semantics and their ignorance. The author analyzes the
potential of such «incubation of radicalism» on a European survey.
