Ok, so Romania made a mistake or two, but we’ll get it right. Promise...
Just gotta have the right people running the show.
I saw photographs of a large group of children singing in the First Baptist Church of a large city in Romania. The kids were from First Baptist Atlanta.
The Romanian church was beautiful but undergoing repairs. Also every female older than maybe 15 was either wearing a hat or some covering on their head.
I wonder how that church survived Communism.
The apologists for the problems of communist government frequently say that the theories of Marx and Engels were not implemented properly.
So then, communist luminaries such as Joe Stalin, Chairman Mao, Fidel, Pol Pot, etc. just weren’t good enough at executing the theories of Marx and Engels. According to them, the problem is in implementation, not in communism .

Pardon me boys
Are you the cats who shot Ceausescu?
You sure made my day

Lesson #4 is for wannabe Commie dictators— when your time has come to exit, do so peacefully or you may get the same kind of treatment as Old Nick and Elena.
That idea has been spread wide and far. I had a history teacher say the same thing around 1960. He was not liberal either.
Quick, what did you post on Facebook 10 years ago?
I liked his shows.
In neighboring Moldova, Communists held power for a decade.
Ceausescu got all the wrong ideas from a visit to North Korea in the 70s but no one in the party was strong enough to stand up against him.
The things his regime implemented didn’t go over well in Europe and the rest as they say was history.
Same thing is going to happen here if the Left gets it its way and we won’t like the price we’re going to pay.
We’ll have to pay it to show people none of it works. Until that’s demonstrated, as it was demonstrated in Romania, we’re in for dark times ahead.
Pinochet did okay but he was too slow to get started, proceeded too slowly and cautiously, and quit before the work was done.
In my college days I attended communist forum in which the speakers said what they really meant, as opposed to the faux compassionate pablum they spewed for public consumption.
One Cental Committee member let fly that Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot failed because “they didn’t kill **enough** capitalist roaders. They failed to see the revolution through to its rightful conclusion. It’s our task to start again, and this time we must not falter until every capitalist, all the bourgeoisie, their sympathizers and their children are piled high in mass graves.”
Wow, that’s stunning and unbelievable. These vicious communist leaders weren’t bloodthirsty enough , in the view of these communists??? Unbelievable.
Old Niki Ceausescu outlawed Christmas when he was in power. Fitting that he and his wretched wife got put to the wall on Christmas Day 1989.
Some of my favorite people are Romanians and they’re well aware of our state of affairs.
Except Pinochet got rid of the Communists. Salvador Allende was just about to put in place a Marxist dictatorship, with the help of about 10,000 Cuban and East German operatives.
My grandfather went through the Bolshevik Revolution when he was 19. Their slogan was “For The People” (Same as Kamala Harris’s campaign slogan. Hummmm.) and they took everything they had.
Went to Yugoslavia in the mid 80’s to see family. My apartment as a student was bigger than my cousins who was a bank VP and his wife a teacher. (His mom and dad who were straight middle class only had 2 rooms, with the bathroom and phone down the hall.)
Police were on every corner and according to my cousin, “They are just here to listen and report.”
Today we have kids in their 20’s embracing the promises Marxism. As a kid in my 20’s, I was experiences the truth of Marxism.
I took to college with me my Dad’s 1940’s Webster Dictionary. It defined Fascisms as a form of government that controlled by regulation of private property as opposed to Communism that controlled by ownership of private property.

The true “Woke” is actually realizing the truth and reality, not propaganda.

,,, Communism was the biggest population thinner of the twentieth century. It suits psychopaths and megalomaniacs who were at and, in some locations, are still at the helms of the various flavours of it spread around the globe. Marx and Engels were classic downstream examples of the need for contraception. Under Communism the trains ran on time in Russia. That’s meaningful to someone, I’m sure. Meaningful to many, many more though is the memory that for decades it was easier to obtain vodka than bread.
