RE: The dictator's ultimate punishment - Forgotten!

No reason to disagree with you. It was not the point of my post to discuss the Ceausescu regime as compared to our present situation, as I don't think many outside our country are interested. Fortunately, we have come to that point when we can talk about this without any passion. Many of his wrongs can be understood when you take them into the wider context, the times he lived in.
As for democracy, the truth is, I think, we do live in a democracy, only we had a different idea about democracy.. we thought, back then, democracy - by Western standards- must be Heaven on Earth. Well, it isn't - neither here, nor in the West...

Sort:  

Some may care, and there are others from our country here also. About that democracy, I don't really believe we are living in it. Democracy is when the people, the majority of the citizens of one state are having control over how the things are going and what decisions are made.

I don't believe that neither in the most advanced countries, we are facing a good and healthy system without people manipulation, corruption or just a few taking decision in their favor, neglecting the masses that voted for them.

No, there is no such system.
