First, let's make something clear, since I can already hear you whining "But...but...you are
talking about life in a communist country, we don't want communism, socialism is
different!"
Yes it is, you little snowflakes. Communism is the final goal in the Marxist philosophy.
In communism all people are equal, one works to the best of his ability and it is provided
with subsistence goods in accordance to what the State says the person needs. There is no
need for money, no salaries, no banks, no financial system. That is communism.
No socialist country in the world has ever achieved the predicted final stage, that of
communism. Not USSR, not Cuba, not Romania, Poland, Bulgaria, China or North Korea.
All these countries were (and some still are) SOCIALIST.
They still use money, people get salaries, private
property still exists to an extent or another (for example in Socialist Romania you could
buy your own home or a small parcel of land, grow food and take it to the farmers market
although the price you could sell it for was regulated, thus discouraging private
producers).
IN CONCLUSION: there were never real communist countries anywhere in the world.

communist Parties. Communism was the goal, this is why the ruling political classAccount

their Party were called communist
About the other claim, that socialism isn't the same with democratic socialism, the kind of
kinder, gentler strain of Bernie socialism the millenials are so enamored of. The only
difference between the two is how much political power each has at a given moment.
When Democratic-Socialists achieve enough political and military power they invariably
become full blown socialists. Last case in point, Venezuela. Democrat-Socialists under
Hugo Chavez first won democratic elections. At first they pledged to respect political
plurality, free
press and protect private property, just like our friend Bernie promises. Everything was
tolerable for a couple of years. Then little by little Chavez started nationalizing industry
after industry, started persecutions against free speech, shut down opposition TV and
newspapers
rigged elections, used military and police force against the opposition, declared himself
President for life and generally speaking ruined one of the most prosperous Latin
American countries transforming it in a shithole under the thunderous applause of brain
dead American
liberals like Sean Penn, Danny Glover as well as other imbeciles enrolled in public colleges
across the US.
Maduro, the present socialist dictator of Venezuela is just continuing the destruction and
he'll probably pay for it with his life, like Ceausescu did in 1989
In conclusion: socialist-democrats are just ordinary socialists who didn't confiscated all
guns (so they are still afraid of us free citizens) and didn't managed to grab all the political
power. Yet.
Now that all of this is cleared, let's see how beautiful life is in socialism
The Queue - trademark of socialism. One had to wait in line hours, sometime even days,
and quite often without even knowing for what. People were just lining up, hoping for any
kind of food or other necessities delivery the store. You could hire a person to stand for

Healthcare in socialism
I assume if you are a millenial snowflake you already watched Michael Moore's
propaganda crock-umentary "Sicko" in which he denigrates the American healthcare
system and sings praises to the socialized Cuban healthcare system
You wanna know the truth about about that movie? It's quite simple: it's complete and
utter bullshit. In Cuba (as well as in all socialist countries in Eastern Europe during the
days before the fall of the communist regimes), healthcare was a 3-tier system.
First, there were the clinics and the hospitals where only the Communist Party notabilities
had access. Logically, we used to call them the Party Hospitals. The best doctors, most
advanced medical technology, cutting edge treatments and drugs, no expense spared -
only the best
for the best comrades. In Bucharest was the largest one, the hospital where

Second tier healthcare: they were the clinics for healthcare tourists - foreign citizens from
western countries who came to Romania for treatment and paid in foreign currency for it.
Also no expense spared, best doctors, imported western medical tech. Patients were
coming
because of the more affordable treatment prices made possible simply because all medical
personnel was paid peanuts compared with their Western counterparts (a doctor's salary
was $3,000-$5,000/month, equivalent with the buying power of $150 This 2nd tier
healthcare exclusively
for Western tourists is what Michael Moore is presenting in his movie Sicko as "socialized
healthcare for all Cubans". It's a crock of propagandistic shit from the lying sack of shit
that Moore is. In real life, Cubans can't even dream setting foot in those clinics and
hospitals
The third tier socialized healthcare is for everyone else. Yes, it was free. But it also was a
disaster of epic proportions. Truly horror movie like. You may think I'm exaggerating, but
I'm not. Countless people died because of lack of medicine, filthy operating rooms,
lack of heat in the winter, broken down ambulances, overcrowded emergency rooms and
last but not least doctors who were so poorly paid that they had to accept bribes in order
to give proper attention to patients. This situation remained a disaster for another decade
after
Ceausescu was overthrown, and the public healthcare system in Romania is still incapable
of fully recovering 28 years later. Luckily privately owned clinics had appeared and people
are starting to see a difference in the way they are treated and taken care of
I'm going to tell you a true stories that affected members in my family.
I grew up in the same house with my two cousins who were 10 and 12 years older than me,
so we always considered all three of us like brothers. Both cousins were merchant
marines, the oldest one Alexandru
a boatswain, the youngest brother Gabriel was a chief mate. I was a radioman on an
offshore oil drilling rig. Seafaring was a family tradition.
One day Alexandru just drops down on the kitchen floor and loses conscience.
We call the ambulance, next available one in the area is in 45 minutes to 1 1/2 hours. So
we call a neighbor who owned a car, and take him to the hospital. ER doctor sees him,
sends him to neurology and the specialist gives the diagnostic: brain stroke.
ER doc comes and tells us he's unlikely to survive because the hospital doesn't have a
tomography machine to see the location of the ruptured vessel or any hemostatic drugs to
stop the bleeding inside the brain. The doctor also opposes him to be transported to cookies.

the capital Bucharest where there is Romania's largest neuro-psych hospital and where
Account Share
the best neurosurgeon in the country works, because he may not survive the trip. The
ambulances made of 50's design military vans are unsuitable (their suspension is like that
of an oxcart),
and as long as the internal bleeding isn't stopped he cannot sign the transfer papers.
So me and Gabriel spring into action. Gabriel goes to his former commander from the
Naval Academy who is a Counter-Admiral. Luckily since Gabriel is a seaman he doesn't go
to him empty handed:
sack full of cartons of American cigarettes, couple boxes of Johnny Walker scotch, couple
of kilos of Brazilian coffee. The Admiral calls in a favor with an aviation General: when the
doctor says patient is transportable, a military helicopter from the aviation base at Tuzla
The hospital where only Ceausescu, his family and the big bosses of the communist Party
have access, and nobody else.
So I meet with this girl and give her the name of the hemostatic injections my cousin
needs. They are imported from Switzerland and her hospital is the only
in the entire country that has them. But she tells me cannot steal them from the hospital
pharmacy, they are under lock and key. And she doesn't have the key. So what she does?
She takes them from her patients. Simply, instead of injecting them the full dosage
prescribed
by the doctor, she injects half of the dosage medicine, half saline. Because my cousin
Alexandru needs 6 vials every day and she cannot steal for me more than 6 at the time, for
the next 3 weeks I ride the train every single day 350 miles round trip, leaving in the
evening
and travelling all night, getting the medicine from her then returning at noon to deliver
them to the doctor.
Three weeks after beginning the treatment Alexandru stabilized and was transported by
military helicopter to the hospital in the capital.
The hemostatic medicine costed me a fortune, I paid for each day of treatment the
equivalent of what it was 1/3 average monthly income. Thank God I had a very good
salary, working on a offshore drilling rig was dangerous but I was making 3 times the
salary of an ordinary
Romanian worker so I had some money under the mattress, then when those were gone I

Because she was stealing
from patients who were heads of the communist Party she could have been simply
"disappeared" rather than put in prison. And I don't blame myself for obtaining the
medicine through stealing from other patients. Those mother-flakers big communist
activists the drug was stolen from
were responsible for supporting a murderous regime and benefiting from it. So frack
them, no regrets for me.
My cousin Alexandru is still alive today, has two daughters (one of which became a Danish
citizen through marriage and lives abroad) and a grandfather.
His brother (and my cousin)Gabriel became an oil tanker commander and unfortunately
passed away couple of years after the Romanian revolution of a heart attack.
One thing I remember with great sadness: three days after my cousin was checked in at
the hospital I saw an absolutely
blonde girl laying on a hospital bed in the same ICU unit as my cousin. I remember her
because she was laying there unconscious, her face was like the face of a Saint in one of
those Byzantine icons. I was there looking for the doctor to hand him over the first of the
hemostatic
vials I brought from Bucharest. I asked the doctor what's wrong with her and he said
"Same as your cousin. She's only 26 and her parents are poor simple people who don't
have the means or connections so I can't do anything for her,
I have no drugs to try to stop her brain from bleeding, no tomography machine to see
where the broken blood vessel is"
She died 10 days later.
Any of you Bernie bros and other leftist snowflakes still thinking socialized medicine is
great? Think again.
That's my cousin Alexandru on the left, the one who we saved from being killed by
socialized medicine - on the left. Behind, his wife and my niece from San Diego, she's like
a surfing champion, visiting Romania with her American dad.
