Blaming someone who has been dead for almost 2 decades is not going to help - it becomes and excuse not to take care of problems but simply point the finger at the past. What have the people done to remedy problems for almost an entire generation since his death?
I was speaking to his encouragement for mothers to have kids, kids, and more kids to swell the population. So thousands of thousands of kids grew up without love, without stability, and now these same people are having children and see no need to provide something they never had.
Interesting thing, Causescu is Romania leading historical figure, over 40% of Romanians foted him....
Explanation was simple. “Under Causescu our stores were empty. Under Democracy, they are full of goods, but we have no work and no money...”
:))))
It's not that simple. Communism's 70-year hiatus from humanity has utterly erased any sense of know-how or individual achievement in the worst of the former Eastern Bloc nations. Of the old Stalinist states, Romania was by far the dreariest, poorest, most corrupt, and hopelessly dismal. Anyone with a lick of sense or talent has long fled somewhere else for a better chance. Life is as cheap as coal dust there, too.
Romania today is a nation without anyone who is qualified to do anything worthwhile. They are so messed up they make Mexico look like Switzerland by comparison.
Even if you had someone there with the idea, the notion, the gumption, and the elbow grease to strive to make things better, they'd be ground to dust by the crime and graft and violence and hopelessness that is Romania's gross domestic product. I will take them 100 years before they're even at the level that former Communist neighbors Hungary and the new Czech Republic are at right now.
