I first heard of this guy when I was a wee lad playing Tropico, suffice to say a lot of dictators would go well on the Lolcows of History.
 
I think my favorite fact about Ceaușescu is that there is a North Korean song named after him called "Dear Ceaușescu". It's about the friendship between North Korea and Romania at the time and apparently it played every time he visited NK. The song is an absolute banger btw.

Just listened to it, can confirm that it is indeed a banger.
I wonder if it also played over hell's loudspeakers when he embarked on his permanent state visit there

Probably did lmao
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Ceaușescu really love hats? I remember reading a long time ago that there was a dictator who did and I thought it was him. Either way, bro had strong hat game (see the hat in my profile pic, idk about you but I would definitely wear a hat like that).

There should also be a Marx thread, as he definitely was a lol cow.

Marx was practically to a tee the stereotypical spoiled bourgeois basement Redditor leftist living off his parents while thinking he has all the answers to dictate how everyone else should live. Looking at his life its uncanny how many similarities he has with the life circumstances of other modern leftists and its no wonder his views were the way they were. Its as if God wrote a parody book on how ridiculous communists are. Whats equally amazing is how few people know of this irony.

Isn't that common knowledge that Marx was a useless dork who was leeching off Engels' daddy money ?

Evidently less common than one might hope considering just how much of a foothold his brain damage already had on modern history and politics.

Francisco Macias Nguema is another big contender. He said that Hitler's main objective was to end colonialism and that the holocaust "was just him getting confused", His campaign strategy was basically pointing at mansions and asking if the people of Equatorial Guinea wanted them, he used to eat marijuana leaves and drop acid, and he brought all of his political opponents to the country's main stadium and had his guards dress up in Santa costumes and gun them down while Those Were The Days by Mary Hopkins played on the loudspeakers. Count Dankula made an excellent video on him.

This guy reminds me of Latino Zoomer if he did drugs and had any semblance of political power.
 
I knew Ceaucescu was a piece of work, but damn, he was legit stupid. An excellent read as always.

I remember watching a documentary called Chuck Norris vs. Communism, which describes how Romanians under Ceaucescu's regime managed to get their hands on forbidden tapes of Hollywood films. Said tapes were smuggled by immigrants, then copied with the only tape copier available in the entire country. Almost all movies were dubbed by the same lady, who simply translated and inserted the audio tracks over the tape; and then they distributed them throughout the country by very shady means. Often, those films were purchased in the same markets that sold regular groceries. Gathering entire families and friendly circles in a tiny apartment (usually the only one in the entire block to have a VHS player) to watch a hastily-copied tape of stuff like First Blood and Missing in Action became amazing eye-opening events to an increasing amount of people. One that truly stood out for me was when a congregation of priests described watching Franco Zefirelli's Jesus of Nazareth - Everyone present at the screening wept at the scene of Jesus' crucifixion, and those were also tears of catharsis for finally being able to profess their faith in the open, kept to themselves due to the regime's strong hand against organized religion.

This way, the generation that was born due to the guy's ill-advised attempt to create the perfect generation of Romanian workers managed to see a world full of fun, action, emotion and color, a stark contrast to the inert and nigh-miserable existence in a communist dictatorship. Those janky copies of Hollywood slop had a hand in toppling the commie bastard.
 
He had a special hatred for both Hungarians (who because of how post WWI borders were drawn are a very large minority in Romania) and Christianity. Which meant at one point he confiscated a shipment of Hungarian language bibles that were donated from abroad and turned them into toilet paper.

June 14, 1985
The Wall Street Journal
by Peter K. Keresztes

"In all of the diabolical manifestations of Adolf Hitler's hatred for God and all religions keeping in mind that he burned Torahs - I don't think even he conceived of anything so ugly."

So fumed California Rep. Bob Dornan at a GOP-organized press conference last week on rights abuses in Romania. He was describing samples of toilet paper with Biblical words such as "Esau," "Israel," "Jeremias," "Satan" and "Isten" (Hungarian for God) embedded in the tissue. The sample panels are "incontrovertible evidence," Rep. Dornan said, that 20,000 bibles donated in the 1970s by the World Reformed Alliance of the Transylvanian Magyar Reformed Church with the permission of Bucharest were diverted to a mill in Braila, as labels on the rolls indicate, for recycling into toilet paper. The highquality Western paper and ink, however, resisted the smashing, and the Biblical words are clearly legible in the creases.

Far worse, however- Securitate was known for pulping people. If you fell into their sights you could expect to be sent back to your family with every bone in your body crushed.

  • The death last year of the Rev. Geza Palfi, who during his 1983 Chistmas homily bemoaned an edict by President Nicolae Ceausescu making Christmas a "day of labor." The Roman Catholic priest was arrested the following day by Securitate agents, according to the underground Hungarian Press of Transylvania, and died three months later of internal injuries, at the age of 48. This sort of brutality parRomania.
  • Six other known deaths in recent years of Roman Catholic, Pentacostal and Baptist clergymen that occurred during or following interrogation.

Richard Wurmbrand was a Lutheran minister in Romania, was imprisoned by Romanian communists and released in mid 60s, his books are pretty wild, Tortured for Christ is recommended for any Christian Farmer, and why not others too. The commies would enact mock Eucharist and force Christians to bless and consume urine and feces. Despite of all the degeneracy in the West, we still have it pretty good, no one's torturing you for going to Church.
 

Here's a video of his trial and execution I found on youtube a while ago. The subtitles on the youtube version only go up to about the 35 minute mark. The uploader never finished them. I think enough is translated to get the idea though. They lead them out to execution at 1:10:00 and show a lot of the aftermath. At 1:17:00 they place them in coffins then bury them.
 
I've heard of the Ceaușescus because of Bucharest's secret metro station, but I had no idea about all the other shit they did! Man, what a nasty piece of work this couple was.

an entire metro station near one of Bucharest's major universities was shelved because she thought the students were "fat" and thought they should walk.

What especially interesting about it is that everyone outside of the Ceaușescu couple saw how pants-on-head retarded this decision was, and so the engineers ended up building the station anyway in secret, expecting that they were going to have to build it there later anyway due to population growth and public pressure. And they were right! But, keeping in mind that they were going against their Dear Leader's orders, they couldn't just build a normal-sized station there - they had to disguise their secret project as normal tunnel boring.
So the end result was this - a ridiculously narrow metro station:

Most commies I know know this, but they are commies, I don't expect them to make sense.

They seem to care more his antics with the maid.
Communism and its leaders killing millions, they can tolerate, but adultery is where the line is drawn.
