Think it's better now? Post-revolution?

I'm from Romania. It's not better, I can tell you. The mind was restricted before the revolution, now the body is.

I would love to hear about it. How revolution fails to bring freedom... From tyranny to oppression? What's going on? Tell us ok? Or make a thread with photos and stories... I would love to read it.

Below are some victims in a make-shift morgue and people getting a good look at the burned body of a dead securitate.

I read the entire Wiki article on the Romanian revolution. It's too bad they were not more organized. Their revolution was hijacked by the very people they had revolted against. Sure they got rid of the top tier of the communist party and then the lower tiers just moved up and took control right back. Starting with the media and the military.

My opinion is that we didn't have a revolution. There was some western interest for our country to change to democracy.

The revolution started with some group shouting "down with ceausescu!". We don't know who those people were :)

There was a lot of disinformation and some profited off it. They are the political class in power right now.

Since the revolution we had the same individuals shuffling each other to power the only short break was with Emil Constantinescu. 22 years past and the change is yet to come. Part of the blame are the people themselves.

That was the exact sense I got when I read about this revolution. It started off in an unplanned general discontent and ended with shrewd insiders taking control and hijacking the "revolution" and still you have a powerful system of government run by elites lording it over the masses who have still not tasted any real freedom either politically, financially or personally.

Yes, there is that. But from what I have studied democracy is simply the easier path to socialism and from socialism onward to a tyranical communism where the individual has no rights and the mob retains all the rights.

How oddly familiar that sounds now when I hear, "Anyone but Obama!". The only ones who say that are those who wish more of the same power structure with themselves at the top. Why not strip the power of the President and simply have him be the commander in chief of the armed forces to do the bidding of the American people and protect us from invasion rather than running a world wide military industrial complex that wages endless wars for profit and an excuse to tax us into an early grave.

Same here in USA.

Exactly our current situation. Power shifts from Republican party (GOP) to Democrat party with them each playing the people against each other for fun and profit. The democrat each time in office strip more of our rights and create a large dependent class that must vote for them to survive and the GOP each time in office do little to stop the government waste and expense and create larger military expenses. Neither party is really reformist and neither party wishes to give the power back to the people who they tax to exteme measures.

. 22 years past and the change is yet to come. Part of the blame are the people themselves.

Complacency and ignorance are the servents of tyranny.
