Abstract
This article sketches out a general theory on the relationship between capitalist crisis, far-right politics, and social reproduction. Such an engagement is made through anchoring at the heart of the analysis the experiences of ‘surplus populations’: those rendered outside the wage economy and conceptualized here more broadly as existing on the margins of society. I argue that a sufficient understanding of the contemporary emergence of the far right requires making sense of, first, historical changes to social reproduction wrought by financialized capitalism and, second, the role played by surplus populations and relations of racialization, gender, and exclusionary politics. Hungarian illiberalism is used as a case study for exploring these dynamics, with a focus on the experiences of Hungary’s largest minority group, the Roma. The research contributes to Marxist theory by parsing out the significance of social reproduction and surplus populations in shaping the intersections of capitalist crisis and far-right politics.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
