The Rumanian Communism, the Latest Stage of the National Communist Era

I’ve been looking to record this episode for a while, given that Eastern Europe is both in the news and has gotten a new reputation as a bastion of “based politics.“

To enlighten me on the subject, I brought in my friend Dan Dima, one of the most well-read people I know, especially on Romanian and Eastern European history and political philosophy. We speak about what it means to be on the left or right in a place where we recently had “communist nationalism.” We also discuss revisionism, Victor Orban as a different breed of statesman, centralization of power vs. emergence, the doctrine vs. psychology of conservatism, and much more.

Dan Anton Dima is a conservative political analyst from Romania. He mostly posts his thoughts in Romanian on Facebook @dananton.dima
