From my experience, Romanians really tend to misinterpret their socialism too. Sure there were mistakes, maybe (or maybe not) most of all socialist countries, but the results were also undeniable social advancement as everywhere, but for some reason liberal slogans are being peddled everywhere even by current Romanian ML’s. Seems strangely similar to Polish information bubble victims who even if really trying to free themselves from it, are being inevitably pushed to ultra positions by the pervasiveness of the bubble which don’t have just 99% media coverage but also numerous savety valves into socialdemocracy, anarchism, trotskyism and ultracommunism. Really the only way to get free is to fortunately stumble upon some real info in the English-language internet since that’s not censored here, but is still incredibly niche.
