No mention of why Romania was in such a bad state. Turns out it was the same playbook as today with the Global South. Romania gets IMF loans mid 70s. And just like John Perkins discusses in his book ‘confessions of an Economic Hitman’, the IMF made the terms of the loan contingent on austerity. Then due to global macroeconomic conditions and interest rate hikes, Romania can’t repay the debts and starts to implode. This of course by design as per IMF/World bank strategy.
The people rise up against AUSTERITY but libs scream about ‘communist dictatorship’.
Zero historical context. Just ‘Communism bad, mmmkay?’. Like the Ukraine proxy war, nothing happened before Russia invaded. No it was ‘totally unprovoked’.
Here’s the background of this lemmy.world propaganda:

Ceaucescu was faaaar from a perfect leader, but that’s not what caused the uprising lol he was in office for so much longer that that one event, make that make sense libs😂please humor me about the “tipping point”🤣
hmmm i wonder why Romania’s population went from 23mil to 19 mil since 1990. could it be that despite all the issues Romania had, it still managed okay living standards?
The population was actual stable until Andrew Tate moved there, which instantly and singlehandedly caused a migration crisis.
Understandable.
