    If they were capitalists, why didn’t the demands of the student protesters say anything about capitalism? If the USSR allowed workers the right to strike, why were the students demanding it?

      You asked for sources and then you ignored them in favor of your “um actually” debate pervert bullshit. You’re a deeply unserious person.

      Read the sources drag asked for. What this was was a bourgeois supported counter-revolution that armed fascists that were doing pograms. The legitimacy of the demands immediately comes into question when drag understands that these were Nazi sympathizers. They wanted to allow fascist and Capitalist parties to dominate Hungary and wanted to get out of paying reparations for the damage they did as Nazis during World War II.

      As for striking, it happened sometimes in the Soviet Union. Worker rights were much better there than in Western countries so it wasn’t as common.
