How did you manage to topple and shoot your commie dictator when he was being too much of a dick?
It's for, uh, a friend. For merely academic purposes, of course.
I could (probably should have) write a whole book about this.
Basically, one of the last acts of actual revolt, undomesticated Europeans and self-sacrifice inside the continent. People literally faced the Army with bare hands and got butchered. Only a few days later as chaos set in and "terrorists" appeared people got armed with whatever they found, but first days they were literally just being so fed up that you accepted the possibility of death.
I think it was a genuine revolution at first but the "opposition" elites took over it really fast, by the time a week passed they were already planning a new government.
Shooting Ceausescu was completely idiotic and likely done so state secrets would not transpire in trial which would've been very publicized. With his death, all his foreign accounts where he stashed what he pillaged from us were lost. Most of his reasons remain secret. Barely anything from inside the regime reached the public, and what did is of somewhat questionable accuracy, like Pacepa's Red Horizons:
As for the academic purposes, umm, I just don't think modern populations have what it takes. No hunger. Obesity and sedentarism. Highly medicated and sedated. Victims of 15 years+ of constant Internet propaganda, split in dozens of tiny ideological tribes, filled with ethnic infighting and riddled with distrust and paranoia (everyone is a fed).
Here's something to do.
Google images from the Romanian revolution. Images from the Israel bombings now. Look at the Arabs and look at the Romanians. What do they have in common?
- almost all are young men, many children, almost none are obese, all raised in harsh climate
Now google images from the "far right" counterprotest in the UK where Tommy Robinson brought his ultras to fight the dindus.
Beer bellies, fat slobs almost everywhere. No courage to go against the police or the state in full. Just drunken little shits looking to let some steam loose.
It will get worse and worse, as modern medicine means that people will get older in average, which is yet another factor that will crush any potential revolutionary fervor.
