Romanian Communist Party

The Romanian Communist Party was the ruling political organization in Romania from 1947 to 1989, aligning the country with Soviet-style socialism. It aimed to eliminate private property, nationalize industries, and create a classless society, often enforcing strict political control and repression. Under leaders like Nicolae Ceaușescu, the party maintained a centralized, authoritarian regime, suppressing dissent and limiting freedoms. Its policies led to economic struggles and social hardship, culminating in the fall of communism in Romania during the 1989 revolution. The party played a critical role in shaping Romania's 20th-century history and political landscape.
