Romanian Revolution and the Execution of Nicolae Ceaușescu

Hey, I've read a little about Nicolae Ceaușescu's execution and the events coming up to the 1989 revolution and I'm unsure whether I can be bothered reading a book or such about whether it was justified or not. I was wondering if any people Veeky Forums could provide their opinions.

I've watched the show trial: youtube.com/watch?v=XsRQP7TifME which can be watched here. It's obviously baseless and the claims made that they committed genocide are unfounded as hospital reports show only around 1,000 people died by authorities in comparison to the 64,000 which was reported by western media. Also, the very fact they decided to kill them so brutally without an actual trial is quite disgusting.

Could any people on Veeky Forums provide greater information and are there any short books on the subject?

Thanks!

Being a communist is justification enough for getting killed.

Are you seriously feeling sympathy for a psychopathic dictator who oppressed his own people to enrich himself and his wife?
Who was also really ugly?

He was pretty handsome when he was young.

Best fucking day of my life.

>admit that a man ordered the deaths of 1000 people
>expect us to care that he was killed without a full trial

>She smelled embarrassingly bad

Back up your claims.

Thanks.

I never said he did it. Can you even read? Please get off Veeky Forums.

>1,000 people died by authorities

He looks like elliot rodger

>she smelled embarrassingly bad

Somehow I imagine all commie women being rancid as shit so this only confirms my bias

>man is head of state
>authorities begin killing protesters
>nothing to do with that guy, he was totally an innocent victim

Save if for the devil, Slobodan

>you are head of company
>employee kills another employee whilst you are not there
>it's your fault

hur durrr

We get it and Hitler isn't responsible for Jews dying.

>CEOs and heads of state have similar responsibilities and liabilities

And that is an argument becuase?

Argumentum ad absurdum.

It is called an analogy.
I never said the man was innocent. As outlined in the OP, I am inquiring about the revolution including facts and books about it. The original post was incorrect in its claim.

Frankly, if you're the head of state, you should do one of two things.

Don't allow your forces to slaughter innocent people to advance your policy

Don't lose the war

If you make both of these mistakes, you are highly likely to be prosecuted criminally.

Cry more, tankie.

Again, you are making assumptions about my position and are creating this non-argument about whether a head of state is responsible. The topic of the thread has gone awry.

No, I am not a communist.

Did you punish that employee?

If no, then yes.
