heres a movie about it with real footage, more of a documentary https://youtu.be/sEZikLuqt68 narrated in english

a lot of romanians nowadays think it was a state-sponsored attack by the americans, i don't know what to say but i sure know life is at least a bit better for most people, and for independent people like myself the much increased freedom is invaluable. fuck commies, any flavor of communism is cancer and should be eradicated

it's so funny that people actually think the USSR was communist. (spoiler: they weren't)

Commies already downvoting. Typical.

[–] hark@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why indeed would communists downvote an "anti-communist fighter"? Truly a mystery for the ages!

People are going to post Félix Rodríguez hagiographies next and then throw a hissy fit if they don't get 100% positive karma.

Tankies try not to support a brutal and massively corrupt dictator who managed to turn the proletariat against him challenge (NEVER BEEN DONE)

It looks like people have forgotten what communism actually is in just 3 decades...

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Like actual communism ever existed. What we got were authoritarian dictators that basically ran a kleptocracy and slapped a “communist” or “socialist” label on it. Facets that looked like the labels were lip service or token at best.

[–] Aux@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

No, we had exceptional communism implementation.

And C is not for cops

[–] sgtlion@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

The C is for counterrevolutionaries, I understand. Of course as a group, it also encompasses cops.
