What oppressive method did Rákosi famously term?
Iron Fist
Salami tactics
Velvet Glove
Silent Threat
Answer
**Salami tactics**, a term coined by Mátyás Rákosi, refers to a gradual, systematic approach of implementing policies or actions, slicing away at something bit by bit like slicing salami. Rákosi used this strategy to consolidate power in communist Hungary, incrementally eroding democratic institutions and individual liberties. This method allowed for the salami-like chipping away of democratic principles and opposition, ultimately leading to the establishment of a totalitarian regime.
