Like Kadar, it usually depends on the political leanings of the person. Rakosi did one hell of a propaganda against the exiled regent. Empyrical evidence that neither the Allies nor the Israeli agents did anything to him seems to support the right wing's views. Rakosi and him did have a personal feud.
The right worships him as bigger than Jesus, like Matthias, Stephanus or Kossuth and Szechenyi. The last great hero and the last true leader. Many on the left still think he ate (((TRUMP CHOSEN!))) babies for breakfast, literally.
Considering that less ((((They)))) died than in other Axis territory and he was not tried after the war, unlike many other Axis leaders, seems to point in the direction that he was not nearly as bad as others. He lived out his life in exile, ranting about commies and being supported by certain TRUMPCHOSEN ((((Word filter, we love you. Word filter is watching us)))) whose execution orders he managed to delay.
Whenever his late efforts to stop the SIX GORILLION from happening were of genuine mercy or just scheming calculation, we shall never know. He was known to be antisemitic but also big on traditional Christian values, like don't massacre children, so who knows what his motivation was.
I am sure he could have done more to prevent the SIX GORILLION but the fact that he even tried is more than what most can say. I believe he was a competent statesman who acted in the best interest of his people, and history just served him a shit sandwitch which had no good endings.
Beanie man talks about him.
