Ceausescu's dictature and his Romanian Communism

Nicolae Ceausescu (N.C.) was one of the most brutal Stalinist dictators. His secret plan was to realize the Communism his way in his life time.

When you do an Internet search for his name word, you will get more than two millions references, but none of them is coming to my conclusions.

N. Ceausescu in his paranoiac dreams thought the Romanian Socialism was done already and it was better for him to realize the Communism in his life time.

Why this plan was not disclosed at some big Party meetings?

1. By disclosing the N.C.’s Communism plan and the dictatorial means of achieving this goal, he will be criticized by the world's Communist communities for subjective voluntarism and ridiculed by millions of people for his singular position; I think due to his Obsessive – Compulsive Disorder sickness.

2. The plan was equality for all, no classes, all at the lowest level of needs namely food and shelter. Moses spent about 40 years almost two generations in desert to erase the Egyptian standard of life from Jews memories. N.C. will do it faster through misery and propaganda;

3. The advantage of having this agenda hidden was, he would blame the Romanian population at times for his own mistakes; the people do not quite follow the leader’s thinking, the people consciousness is behind and it should rise at the leader level through indoctrination;

4. The N.C.’s support group was small. More important Elena Ceausescu was focused on accumulating wealth selling passports to Jews to pay for Romanian education and doing business on the side with child’s blood and organs on black market, etc. She has already got the #1 on her office door and got her glory as scientist with only four primary classes education.

The NC’s plan comes to light when you look to Romanian Socialism in the 80’s through the social contradiction glasses.

I looked through glasses of the Communist dogma, Romanian Party Programs to the horrible reality of my time. What a view!

The direct consequences were my articles and " target="_new">my escape from Romania.

Lenin legalized the political and social violence based on the class struggle concept, the cornerstone of Marxism-Leninism theory.
The social-democrats opposed to violence and dictatorship the democratic, legal ways for transition to socialism. The majority imposes their programs to a minority through voting process.

All socialists agreed that the Communism will be created by future generations, but Nicolae Ceausescu. There are many incompetent decisions made by Romanian Communist leadership before and at the time of energy crisis.

My personal contradiction with the Ceausescu's dogma had got the antagonistic stage so I left the country in August. When the contradiction between Ceausescu's rhetoric and Romanian population starvation became antagonistic it solved by December uprising. These are the facts explained in plain materialist dialectic language.

The Ceausescu’s transition to Communism having abolished social classes by making all equal in poverty at the level of basic needs only, shows a dialectical development in spiral back to slavery, where the production means and dictatorship were enhanced by technology. Dialectically the new achieved quality is a new mode of production that could be named Socialist Slavery.

Socialist Slavery is a form of forced labor in which people are held against their will from the time of their birth, and are deprived of the right to leave, to refuse to work, or to receive adequate compensation.

Welcome to the "Brave New World" from Aldous Huxley' novel, published in 1932. I escaped in 1989 from that reality of the "Miserable Socialism" - this is the alternative name for the new mode of production.

The facts were: the bad judgments made at the top led to December 1989 anti-communist Revolution.
