1. Overview
Hateful, criminal and terrorist dictatorships, the communist systems tortured and killed millions, behind an ideological wall which should have offered the people a better, socially speaking. The statistics were never correct. In comparison with the Nazi ones, the criminal communist systems never let tracks being aware of the merciless sentence of the history.
The moral and spiritual degradation is the direct effect of the communism. The attack on churches and moral values was intense. Ceausescu's communism was one of the most miscreants. Friends, brothers, relatives betrayed each other. The moral damages are immeasurable compared with the material ones. In addition, mass emigrations, broken families, the instability of the economic situation and of the international politics are also effects of the communism. Furthermore, the damage brought to the nations is inestimable. Teachers, doctors, lawyers preferred death to the communist chains; a big part of the intellectualism from many communist countries emigrated for a better life in freedom.
The history registers new methods of mass killing or the resumption of some already practiced (controlled starvations like the ones in Ukraine or in the abandoned special camps of the Nazis, subsequently used by the Soviets). Also, a large number of victims were generated by the economic incompetence of the system. Some examples of issues caused by these insufficiencies are:
- The starvation at national scale in North Korea
- The septic miscarriages from Romania caused 10,000 victims in the period of Ceausescu
- Endemic contaminations with AIDS in Zimbabwe
- 60,000 victims registered, also, in the period of Ceausescu caused by starvation, lack of medicines, cold and poor medical assistance
- The nuclear catastrophe from Chernobyl (the real number of the persons who died immediately or in the next ten years after the accident is relative or unknown)
