Don’t bother mate. All these people commenting are American radicals. Lemmy has received a massive influx of them after Reddit increased its moderation standards. I wish there was a social media platform made just for Europeans so I wouldn’t have to listen to Americans constantly.
As a Romanian myself I could tell them about the horrendous living conditions my relatives had to go through during communism, but it won’t matter. They’ll still chant their nonsense like some drugged priests.
Communism is horrible. It didn’t work, it doesn’t work and it will never work.
Unsurprising, given that the dissolution of the Socialist system resulted in extreme increases in poverty, homelessness, prostitution, drug abuse, and 7 million excess deaths.
Exactly, all because communism paralyzed the economy for a half a century and fixing that mess required more than a decade of hardship.
But you keep deluding yourself with your nonsense. Why don’t you go to North Korea or Cuba if you like communism so much? I’ll buy you a plane ticket if you can’t afford it.
Had the Socialist economy not been dissolved, growth would have surpassed what it is today in the post-Soviet countries. I’m not going to pretend that the economy was perfect, or that Kruschev, Gorbachev, and Yeltsin’s reforms weren’t harmful for the economy or that the immense destruction and genocide inflicted by the Nazis on the Soviet people’s did no harm to the economy either, but Capitalism didn’t “fix” anything. It allowed foreign Capitalists to freely plunder and loot what was a working system with its own struggles.
Had the USSR implemented reforms to its economy such as those done in the PRC, maintaining Socialism but allowing a more open economy for engagement with the world economy, the best of all worlds may have been achieved. None of the immense pain or misery Capitalism brought, while coupled with the growth Gorbachev sought to achieve through liberalization efforts.

Go on you losers. Downvote me all you want.
63% of Romanias believe they are worse off than under Communism. Unsurprising, given that the dissolution of the Socialist system resulted in extreme increases in poverty, homelessness, prostitution, drug abuse, and 7 million excess deaths.
