    The wealthy are not taking 90% in Romania

    Brother the gini coefficient in Romania is 34 and in Russia it’s 35, you are at Russian levels of kleptocracy…

    There’s a new green social-democrat party that’s the real deal. It’s growing. Fingers crossed

    Keep them crossed lmao those parties are de facto forbidden in Europe. Mark my words: the party will be disintegrated in 10 years. It happened in Spain with Podemos (type of party you’re supporting), it happened in Greece with Syriza… You’re 10 years late to the party, the EU will literally not allow for anything left of corrupt socdems. Mark my words for when in 5-10 years your party is all but forgotten. Electoralism does not work.

    The thing about supermarkets being empty is real. That was literally one of the things that triggered the revolution

    Sure, the supermarkets got empty in all of the eastern block at the same time, thats why all countries abandoned socialism. I’m aware of the austerity policy in the 1980s, but that’s not because of oligarchy, it’s because Romania took on debt to further invest on its industrial sector, and had to pay back the debt. It caused inflation, but the real shit happened in the 1990s, because capitalism destroyed the economy. Wealth inequality skyrocketed, you complain about oligarchs but it’s literally an order of magnitude now than before. Please, since you speak Romanian, try and find numerical information of wealth inequality in 1975 vs 2025.

    What my grandfather did was he refused to beat up a guy for information. He was just a regular cop in a small city

    That’s literally cops everywhere. ACAB exists in the west, too. The good souls are kicked out of the police or corrupted.

        Talk to me in 10 years when you experience the EU"s systematic destruction of leftist parties and the rise of the far-right

          Dude, it’s been a day

          Get off the internet. Your family misses you 😂

          Mean jokes aside…

          I CAN TELL you’re not a bot or a troll (fuck I hope I’m not wrong, cause that’d be embarassing). That’s why I’m being relatively chill. And that’s why I’m replying. Who… are you… anyway…? Cause I think you are literally the first of your kind I’ve had an actual conversation with. As a film grad I am genuinely intrigued by the story behind my new far-left “pen-pal” lol Those left-wing parties you said were sabotaged… did you actually vote for them and were disappointed by what happened to them? Is that how you went far-left? Are you young? Are you old? What sort of work do you do?

          I feel like I got under your skin and now I feel bad. Cause I’ve legit missed hours of my life being angry at randos on the internet myself.

          Cause one human to another: Romania is 20 million conservatives by the Black Sea. You should NOT be this invested in this argument. I am barely this invested in it and I live here. I only defended Romania cause you attacked it. 99% of these people suck. Lol

          Get off the commie stuff. It’s too dark. Go volunteer at a charity. Go campaign for a progressive. It will make you feel better. Watch a sad movie and cry it all out of your system. And hell, go out and have some fun too however you can. Things are not actually as bad as they seem and there’s plenty good people out there still. You just gotta look for them.

          And genuinely, honestly, if I ruined your day or upset you on a personal level, I regret it. I knew I couldn’t change your mind but I couldn’t help myself. =3
