I replied to someone saying that the USSR defeated the Nazis saying that it was a group effort. Got into an argument and called a Nazi repeatedly because "I was mad that the USSR defeated the Nazis and hated them for it" which is ridiculous. This isn't the first time that's happened on Lemmy. What's up with that?
Nah, that's BS, at least in economic terms. Romania was an entirely agrarian land prior to communism, and by the 1980s it was an industrialized country with free healthcare, free education, socialized housing and guaranteed employment, with very healthy economic growth all throughout. After the dismantling of socialism in Romania, people suffered immensely and they've been in demographic catastrophe for the past 35 years
Most of the complaints about socialist Romania boil down to "Ceaucescu wasn't charismatic enough", which fair enough, but what came after is much, much worse. I have yet to hear someone coherently tell me why the socialist experiment in Romania wasn't successful, and it would seem most Romanians agree, with 56% of them saying socialism was good for Romania even after a third of a century of anticommunist propaganda.
