December 1989 marked the systematic collapse of communism in Russia and Europe.

Euro DXPers, sound off with your thoughts on this.

Romanians, sound off about Nicolae Ceausescu and his bloody demise.

Yeah.

I was watching a documentary on the Tianemen Massacre of 1989.

The Chinese students wanted freedom and democracy for China.

The Communists responded to the students with tanks, APCs, machine guns and anti-aircraft weapons.

And to think some people in the USA support comuunism? They should really rethink their version of communism and look at real communism! Ants.

I think a lot of people think it just hasn't been "done right", yet.

I've said it before--

Who in their right mind would want to strive for excellence without being able to enjoy the fruits of their labor.

I just smh.

When communism collapsed in Romania, it was a matter of changing all the political class..which sadly didn't happen. 24 years later and we're still struggling.

Most of the people you see begging on the streets in Bucharest actually leave at night in expensive cars. It's a network that preys on human mercy.
