Yes, I have noticed this as well. When I was in university, I would argue with the communist professors constantly. We had one in particular that would get an academic visa and visit the soviet union at least once, sometimes twice a year. He loved the place. He loved it because he had that six-figure professor's paycheck and lots of _American Dollars_ to spread around. When the USSR collapsed he literally cried. After the collapse the demand for his marxism lectures dried up and he had to retire a couple of years later. I offered to buy him a ticket to cuba, but he told me to FO and disappeared. It's easy to be a communist in the _Land for Milk and Honey._ It's completely different under the yoke.

I don’t think it would ever work because peoples greed, basic human failings will always lead to its downfall. Even North Korea will eventually give up on it, I don’t think Putin wants to bring back the communist system, but he does want the consolidation of power that the dictators of the past had.

The phrase "axis of evil" was first used by U.S. President George W. Bush and originally referred to Iran, Ba'athist Iraq, and North Korea. It was used in Bush's State of the Union address on January 29, 2002, less than five months after the September 11 attacks and almost a year before the 2003 invasion of Iraq, and often repeated throughout his presidency. He used it to describe foreign governments that, during his administration, allegedly sponsored terrorism and sought weapons of mass destruction.

Then, they were taken outside, put against the wall and shot. This was shown on German TV over and over again. When I returned to the U.S. I mentioned how wild it was to see people executed on TV and nobody knew what I was talking about.

The heck of it was, Elena was so dumb and so lacking in class that she had no idea the stuff she was "given" all those times was fake: the Romanians who examined it on her behalf were afraid to anger her by telling her the stuff was fugazi.

The platoon of paratroopers assigned to guard, and eventually execute, the Ceausescus had a bit of problem with the assignment. You see, they *ALL* wanted to execute the Ceausescus. So they settled the issue in soldierly fashion.... the fought it out. The winners got Nicolae and the rest got Elena. The international press that was there noticed that when the paras brought the Ceausescus to the wall, they looked like they had been in a fight so they asked the captain in charge of the unit. "They were selecting who was to be on each firing squad." _This story was told to me by my Calculus professor in university. He was Romanian._

I was 6 years old and living in Bulgaria when this happened. Romanian programs and news, in the Romanian language, were broadcast several hours a day on the Bulgarian National Television. I'm not sure why, but according to my parents, there weren't enough TV towers in Romania and they used the Bulgarian ones to cover southern Romania. The execution of Ceausescu was broadcast live and I watched it, although I didn't understand at that age that it was real, not just a movie. It wasn't until later that I realized it was something significant when my parents commented on it. In Bulgaria at that time the communist party also ruled, a few years later and the Bulgarian "president" was overthrown, but without violence.

My uncle was chosen by his employer General Motors Corporation in Detroit, Michigan, USA to be their Romanian representative when the Ceausescus visited the US in 1978. The US government was steering foreign policy to move Romania and other Eastern bloc countries away from Moscow. Romania had taken out loans from Western countries, and in order to repay the loans had to Export the majority of manufactured goods in exchange for $s. This put a strain on the internal economy, and in the minds of most people it tested their loyalty to the government. At that point in the 1980s it had become a state controlled capitalist economy instead of a communist utopia. People that had jobs in the cities had to leave work at the end of the day and wait in line for 4 hours to get the basic necessities, and quite often their were 100 of something for sale in the store, and 200 people in line waiting outside. So you can see their murderous frustration.

These people sent many to their deaths and caused untold suffering, they deserved no sympathy or due process when it was THEIR turn.

I remember this very well. The international community warned Romania to not rush them through a trial and Romania said "hold my beer". 👋👋👋👍👍👍

I remember this. If there's an opposite to the concept of international uproar, that would describe the world's response.

Great vid and channel has much potential! Just a few points; your tone is a bit monotone and you 'gulp' for air which sounds amateurish and distracting. That said, you have great pacing and good research. Good luck!

Little bit of advice- you are just an internet rando, no one asked for your opinion, chronic self-importance will alienate anyone who for some reason likes you and age you prematurely. Your comments have great potential though! I like your, uh. Well

3:07 with Venezuelan president Rafael Caldera and his wife Alicia Pietri de Caldera, when Venezuela was an example of democracy in Latin America. Who would ever have thought that 50 years later, Venezuela would become a ruthless dictatorship like Romania under the Chavez and Maduro regimes?

So the revolution happened in 1989 & I was in Italy in 1990 for the World Cup & I remember seeing Romanian supporters flying Romanian flags but they had cut out a circle in the middle of the flag. I'm guessing it must have been something to do with the Communist party or the Ceausescu's. I just remember how happy they all were.🙂

I remember the revolution well. While I do not feel sorry for them, it was still shocking to see the pictures of their execution on TV.

I respect the pause in hopes of not butchering the pronunciation of Wallachia, but it was still butchered. It's more like Vuh-LAH-key-a (the "lah" is capitalized because it needs to be more pronounced and slightly drawn out than the rest).
