Poorest in what sense? If you're talking about debt, then the United States is the poorest nation on earth. There's your "proper democracy." Romania is a developing country, you can't compare Romania to the US. Even though it had one of the highest GDP growth in Europe for the last 10 years and is one of the only countries left in Europe that has positive growth and lowest debt even in a recession. After all that was stolen from us, we still recovered. Look at Spain, Greece, and Italy now.

Nu au dreptate.Tot ce s-a facut ,s-a facut sub opresiunea unei dictaturi,iar la finalul a 45 de ani de comunism,Romania ,dupa Albania,era cea mai saraca tara din Europa ,cand in perioada interbelica a fost la acelasi nivel de dezvoltare cu Austria.

Lamurit?!

So someone living in delusional lalaland calls me a "waste of time". And I should care - why exactly?

[davisoneill]

Whatever you are, you are a waste of time. I've finished talking to you.

[Hannodb1961]

A bum on the street with internet access? Not that I care what you think of me, your judgement and reasoning is severely impaired by a flawed ideology anyway. But even if I was a bum on the street, that would still make no difference to the fact that Socialism is a discredited idiotic idea that doesn't work in real life - inferior to Capitalism by a huge margin.

[davisoneill]

I'm sure you are a bum on the street. 

[Hannodb1961]

I'd rather have someone be a bum on the street, than being served by someone who works against his will, and who cannot be fired for gross incompetence.

[Hannodb1961]

Ah, wait, I've got an even better example. I don't know how much you've heard in Ireland about Julius Malema. He was the populist leader of the ANC youth league, making a name for himself by being anti-everything, and making extremists demands. He was too much, even for the ANC who eventually fired him. In his entire political career, I can remember only once that he made a positive statement about anything, and that was about Orania after he visited the town. So much for your naive propaganda.

[Hannodb1961]

You're not building anything. You're a bunch of morons coming together, dreaming fanciful air castles with nothing more than empty words. Communism is discredited forever.

[Hannodb1961]

Oh, yeah right! In your communist wet dreams!

[Hannodb1961]

Well, ofcause Romania is not a sucessfull capitalist country! A sucessful capitalist system does not just pop into existence, it will take years to recover from the damage Communism has done from it.

Also, "Capitalist propaganda" has been proven to work over centuries, while communism has failed. There is all the empirical evidence you need. Communism may have been able to sparkle for a while, but it's just not sustainable.
