We killed one of our former presidents at the execution wall because of rationalized food and cold in our homes. I am European.
And before anyone comes in and says: "you killed Ceausescu because you wanted communism deposed!". No, we didn't, we wanted "communism" that would provide us with food in the stores and heat in our homes, "communism with a human face", as they were calling it. That's why at the 1990 general elections we overwhelmingly elected a former Communist Party apparatchik.

- Herodotus38 4y agoThanks for your comment. That wikipedia article led me to watch Ceausescu's last speech and learn more about that time. It's such an interesting video because you understand the transition that he's lost control of the country (I don't want to say moment because it's probably much more complicated). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcRWiz1PhKU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcRWiz1PhKU
