they paint his hands to imply he has bloody hands

i choose to believe it's the communism seeping out

i like the Seattle statue of Lenin that people always vandalize with red paint. It's on private land so it cant be removed and the irony is delicious

yes there were still plenty positives.

they did the same IMF fuckery as Yugoslavia did, got the same issues with rationing and lack of goods as Poland did and did away with women's autonomy by making abortion illegal.

from the "USSR sphere of influence countries" i'd say Romania. it was still a lot better than what it was before but it had a lot of issues

Well, along with the good things Ceaușescu did (continue the industrializing process of Romania, offering work, housing, good education system, good sport facilities that put Romania in top countries in sport performances, paying the national debt of Romania etc), there are also bad things. He pushed the nationalist agenda too much (at one point in 1980 he made a parade saying in the honour of "2054 years since the creation of the first centralized dacian state"; compared himself with wallachian or moldavian medieval rulers etc). His cult of personality really went over the roof. He banned abortions, banned homosexuality. Plus, the biggest mistake he did was to approach western nations, to the point that Romania even received from the US "the clause of the most favourable country" (I think that's how it is called). Yes, Ceaușescu did establish good relations with socialist countries (especially Libya, DPRK, China etc.) and he wanted to establish a bank for the developing nations to compete with the IMF. He borrowed money from the IMF, and that eventually fucked him up big time and he had to shorten romanian population's food, heat etc to afford to pay that. Ceaușescu really distanced himself from the USSR and he also cleaned the state apparatus from the soviet functionaries. Although the so-called "revolution" was orchestrated mostly by the US and other west-european intelligence services (since Ceaușescu denied the perestroika) and his execution was decided by soviet revisionists and united states collaborators who imposed their people in power after 22nd december 1989, Ceaușescu should still be criticised for the bad things he did. He should be compared with other socialist leaders.

cw: reddit prolespod did an episode on them

spineless loser

yeah they'll do that and then they'll push it to 30 and eventually they'll just ban it fully.

During Friday's news conference, Brackney said the medical examiner had confirmed Fortune's cause of death was homicide and said there would be a murder charge.

She identified the suspect as Jarques Ratliff, 51, and said there was an "association" between Ratliff, who is also black, and Fortune, but would not elaborate further.
