Go Figure, The Poorest Place In Europe Is Run By Communists
Submitted by Simon Black via Sovereign Man blog,
Ah Moldova… the poorest country in Europe, which just so happens to have had a Communist party majority in its parliament since 1998.
These two points are not unrelated.
Despite having achieved its independence from the Soviet Union over 20 years ago, the state is still a major part of the Moldovan economy… from setting prices and wages to media, healthcare, agricultural production, air transport, and electricity.
Under such management, it’s no wonder, for example, that Moldova has to import 75% of its electricity. It is the exact opposite of self-sustaining.
The government does a reasonable job of chasing away foreigners as well.
Agriculture is the mainstay of Moldova’s economy… and while on one hand they say “we welcome foreign investment in agriculture,” on the other they say “foreign investors cannot own agricultural property.” It’s genius.
The average wage here is less than $300 per month… all while Moldovans’ purchasing power is getting eaten away by inflation. GDP per capita, meanwhile, is in the ballpark of many destitute African nations like Swaziland.
Of course, not everyone is poor. The politicians at the top of the totem pole are doing great, always pulling the strings in their favor at the expense of everyone else.
Since the last election in 2010, the Communists still hold the most seats in Parliament. The three other main parties banded together to form a majority coalition to take control of government.
Very little has changed. The Communists are still a powerful force in Moldovan politics, and the other parties aren’t exactly champions of economic freedom.
They bicker away about the budget, about who to tax and how much to tax, about what laws to pass and what regulation to implement. As usual, it’s the exact opposite of what they should be doing.
Economic freedom… all freedom, really, is not built by passing laws and rules and regulations.
Rather, it’s like what Michelangelo said about sculpting: to achieve growth and freedom, one need only remove the unnecessary stone, underneath which lies the masterpiece.
The likelihood of these guys figuring it out, unfortunately, is zero. And that doesn’t just go for Moldova, but all western governments.
Europe is now taking a dangerous slide back into Communism… or at least steep radicalism. Neo-Nazi parties and openly Marxist politicians are dominating the scene.
This is nothing new. As usual, history is full of lessons from when people have turned to radical figures in tough times.
The French, for example, were driven to behead their King in the late 18th century due to dismal economic conditions.
They traded an absolute monarch (Louis XVI) who wrecked the economy for a bloodthirsty dictator (Robespierre) who continued wrecking the economy, and eventually traded him for yet another dictator (Napoleon) who continued wrecking the economy.
This is the vicious cycle that forms when an entire nation reaches the point of desperation, and we are seeing signs of this forming all over the West. The only question is… who will become the next Moldova?

Very pretty girls to hire...
hippies were communists. thats why they lived on communes. should be a snapple fact.
So are South Americans for the most part, even the CIA and the cocaine couldn't really change that.
If only they had a central bank run by jews...
Are they Dem commies or Repeb commies?
Bill and Hillary were hippie commies. That whole damn generation seems cursed to me.
If you want to hire Moldovan girls go to Rome.
Been there once for a business trip... those woman are pretty intimidating and big and I saw girl beating up pretty big guys over there!
And all the big cities over there are run by the mob and our guides warned us not to look to the woman because if it was a girlfriend off... you could expect a pretty agressive visit from the boyfriend.
But the booze is cheap and those people are IN SANE!
After the trip, everybody from the team went to the boss and said: NEVER AGAIN!
mate, learn how to PickUp in a first place, THEN go to Moldowa :)
True these Moldova women are beasts even the hot ones and most likely have left and went to Italy, Romania or somewhere else. They are for the most part either sold off or super protected by the men there. Most of them are not good looking though. You'll find just as many good looking ones everywhere else in the world. Would not recommend associating with one of them they are greedy as hell and have no scruples. That country is a total mess. The men are all drug pigs there
Hmm...
Moldova debt to GDP Jan.'14: 24%.
Down from 43% ten years ago.
"Poor" but no debt slaves. And a much higher quality of living: no rushed life. More intact families, lower divorce rates, no McJobs.
They have some of the best wine in the world and are probably the oldest settled zone in Europe

my best friend's half-sister makes $77 every hour on the computer . She has been laid off for 5 months but last month her pay check was $14292 just working on the computer for a few hours. read... www.works3.com
who will become the next Moldova? DETROIT (run by wanna-be Communist Dems for 50 years)
I bet Moldova is freaking heaven versus Detroit, S Chicago, East St. Louis, Oakland, Camden and soon to be Ferguson, MO.
I bet you would not get shot at a McDonalds trying to steal a piece of pound cake in Moldova. No chimp outs at McDonalds in Moldova.

Bill Cosby rapist.
You will not see one black person in Moldova. Guaranteed. However it is like a white ghetto.
Beautiful countryside, great soil, great wines, great rasberries, the oldest settled place in Europe, yeah sure not every one has iPADs but its richer in other ways.
Dear Tom,
Sorry. Plenty of Africoon "students" there, and negros attatched to the US governments all there to muhdick any poverty-stricken white girl they can.
I personally would love to see those Moldovan men start picking them off.
Kalifornication is top of the USA list.
The only difference between Moldavia and places like Venezuela is the Moldavian government is truthful about what they call themselves. the outcome is the same though.
Replace "Venezuela" with "The USA" and your statement will continue to be accurate.
We are heading to the same path in the U.S.
Imagine what their life would be like if they had a Reserve Currency.
Oh SNAP!
"Look at you all poor and not growing!" said the cancer to the host.
Do they have more than $18 Trillion in debt too?
Transdniestria, the northern breakaway portion of Moldova is the least poor area and the most communist. How does that compute?
"Transdniestria, the northern breakaway portion of Moldova is the least poor area and the most corrupt."
there ftfy
Isn't US corrupt ?
Favorite past time of the "Most compassionate Nation in the World" is enjoying other people's misery. Never mind that Moldovia may well be in different Solar system (and for most usonians it is), that how it is relevant to US.
And, as a cherry on the top, they can go with "communism this" and "communism that" we are talking 4th of July fireworks...
A bit like Novorossia (pro-Russian) and the rest of Ukraine (pro-dipshittery)
Well, maybe because Transdniestria is only really, really, really, really, really, really fucked, while the rest of Moldova is really, really, really, really, really, really, really fucked.
You can do much more with relatives rather than just avoiding them at Thanksgiving dinner.
USA is way more fucked up and getting worse, at least economically Moldova may have hit rock bottom a while back but they are starting to realize iPADs for everyone is not progress.
We prefer to refer to this area as Prednistrovie, thanks very much.
A Leftist government, in a fully “neoliberalized” Europe which will end to serve solely plutocrats' interests, will be like a "Don Quixote" chasing windmills. Germany's entrance to the austerity and cuts, as well as the suppression of the anti-austerity front, will fully isolate such a government unless we see a fast, general rise of the Left and the anti-neoliberal forces in Europe, that could change the outcome of the class-war.
Have you ever heard a DemocRAT openly describe themselves as collectivist (i.e. Socialist, Communist, Marxist, Maoist, Fabian Marxist, etc.)? Why?
It is possible to be both liberal and anti-collectivist. However, the Democratic party has purged itself of "Blue Dog" Democrats. The Democratic Party, it seems, has decided to go all in on collectivism.

Although the Communists have the most seats in the parliament, it is the pro-Western pro-free-market parties that have been in power in Moldova for years now. And Moldova is still a basket case.
Anyone who actually knows anything about Moldova would know that your statement is 100% correct.
America's economy is run by banksters with the sanction of the State and with onerous regulation on private business that favor the lobbying large corporations, one could easily make the case that America's businesses are controlled by the State in much the same way as Moldova's.
The only difference I see is when the Jackboots come out to play, they have newer and shinier weapons to deal with people who disagree on the direction the real owners of America are taking us.
A rotten apple by any other name will still stink.
"The likelihood of these guys figuring it out, unfortunately, is zero. And that doesn’t just go for Moldova, but all western governments."
A concise masterpiece of understatement.
Well done.
Moldova Sucks!

Some of the best wines in the world and decent hard working people without Air Jordans and iPADs
That place has been a mess since Orly Taitz left...
To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The late 30's and 40's Nazis had a booming economy once they removed the tribe control.
until the crash of '45
You're underestimating the effect that all the stolen gold, art, real estate, and other assets had if you're just gonna give the removal of the "tribe" all the credit.
When you say "Communists" you mean Jews right?
Of course! Marx was a Jew. So were the Bolsheviks.
On February 8, 1920, Sir Winston Churchill expressed his alarm over world developments in an interview published in the Sunday Illustrated Herald, London:
"From the days of Adam (Spartacus) Weishaupt, to those of Karl Marx to those of Trotsky, Bela Kun, Rosa Luxemburg and Emma Goldman. This worldwide conspiracy for the overthrow of civilization and for the reconstruction of society on the basis of arrested development, of envious malevolence and impossible equality, has been steadily growing ... There is no need to exaggerate the part played in the creation of Bolshevism and in the actual bringing about of the Russian Revolution by these international, and for the most part, atheistic Jews. It is certainly a very great one: it probably outweighs all others. With the notable exception of Lenin, the majority of the leading figures are Jews. Moreover, the principal inspiration and driving power comes from the Jewish leaders."

Well makes sense, European Aristocracy, well educated and in power, was behind the crack down on many jewish border enterprises and blackmarket operations. They were the essential element to destroy and overthrow for the J-mafia cabal to take over Europe and the rest of the western world.
In a sense the aristocracy was a Christian cabal of well educated individuals who had most of the power and influence and to whom the Jewish cabal had to pay a certain percentage of the profit to, else they would be driven out of the country or imprisoned. The Jewish history buffs love to play up the pogrom angle for some sympathy and never focus on the criminal elements of their enterprises for which innocent jews were also caught up in.
Anyways, once the aristocracy was violently overthrown or neutered like in the UK by the Rothschilds then without another cabal to fight against them, even the greatest and largest countries could be enslaved by a few once they were in control of the party and or the central bank.
Were there atheist Jews that firmly believed in the ideals of the overthrow and the improving the status of the common citizen in society, of course there were many since there were also a great number of Jews in the working class. However they were always on a leash and under the control of the J-mafia bankers.
Sorry to say but Winston the Drunkard was wrong about Lenin. What a sick lineage: his great-granfather was also his grandfather (think about that). His grand-neice was crusading for Lenin's recognition for his contribution to the tribe about ten years ago. One would think that she knew enough to keep her mouth shut.
It's also worthwile to take a look at Winston's maternal line.
Like I said Putin and Russia aren't the enemy, they're ex-communists, the EU is the real red threat.
The EU is impotent and will implode under their millions of Africans and Arabs they keep importing. The real threat is within our government and the Fed
"The Soviet Union was the bad kind of communism, we promise you the good kind"
"Europe is now taking a dangerous slide back into Communism… or at least steep radicalism. Neo-Nazi parties and openly Marxist politicians are dominating the scene."
Yes, everywhere in Europe communist or neonazi parties are in control. Every European country has either a communist or neonazi government (or both). Everybody knows that. GTFO Black.
it is only a label for powerhungry people, they are not real comunists or marxists at all
As If this was not the case with all eastern europe. My country Slovakia is the same, in the years after 1989, so called "nationalists", all state assets ended up in a hands of few, they bought it for credit and invested with credit from local banks, after 10 years, banks went bankrupt, 10% of GDP dissapeared. yet assets remained in hands of few, deficits soared. polititians got mega wealthy.
Then in 2000, so called "western democrats" reforms meant cutting wellfare but increasing public spending, moreover there was a huge credit bubble in making by ECB, Slovakia was second best debt rider after Ireland, they called us tiger as well, everyone was better, everyone was more in debt, mortgage's portfolios rose by 25% a year, budget deficits soared even then.
Then in 2009, so called "social democrats", government grew, private sector got more a more screwed. they promised assurance, that they will take care of us for public money.
NOW, all assets are in a hands of the same few, yet some of them died but very few, it is the same people all these years, no matter what party. Secret service managed somehow to spy on a flat where minister meet up with lobyist and so called financial sharks. Transcript of these conversations was made public, there was a public outcry and rage, almost 20.000 marched on parlament, they threw bananas, nothing happened, now there is a big frustration and resignation here, corruption is so widespread, that basicaly majority of voters are going to vote because they depend on public money, normal people, that work in private sector do not vote.
I personaly think that things will change only with the fall of EU, as bureaucrats are sending a lot of money here through eurofunds, that go only to connected people an all levels of administration, that helps them to keep power. that is why majority of folks support Russia, they dont want corrupt polititians and corrupt EU, yet the fuckers are better organized as almost always is the case.
so avg foks are in debt and conected people own assets, the picture is same in all eastern europe, we all are waiting for something to happen too long, nothing changes
Sounds just like AIPAC here.
Sorry to hear of your problems. It seems that that was the plan all along, communism was bad but 'democracy' was worse.
I think you're correct about the EU but those theives will fight to the death, preferably someone else's.
I pray you have a better New Year.
Talk about beating a dead horse. Your author should realize that communism is NOT competing for a different kind of capitalism. Yes, capitalism is better at generating wealth. But the goal of communism is a kind of financial equality, different than capitalism; so to compare it with capitalism's tools is a HUGE FLAW. I believe that communism is God's plague on capitalism. Communism is the 'the Lord takes away' side of the equation. You guys are so backward-looking. You're trying to keep the old world duality alive: communism vs capitalism, the east against the west. Wake up. There is a new world duality: north against south, western democracy/capitalistic Judeo-Christianity against Islam. Don't fight the old war. The old war is over. OUr persecution of Russia over Ukraine is proof that this Old World mentality is still alive and being fed by our leaders who are afraid of the world into which we are sailing. Ok, capitalism won; but that is becoming irrelevant now.

Judeo-Christianity?
Luciferian death cult.
BTW, who would proudly dedicate a book to Lucifer? (hint: Hillary was a big fan)
Yet another turd from "The Sovereign Man", smelly and completely devoid of context and relevant information. Although highly repugnant, it is delicious "communist" red meat and confirmation bias for the more rabid slice of ZH.
It also serves as a preparatory measure to continue conditioning the public at large for another liberation of a poor oppressed country by the magnanimous US.gov and the EU, as part of the glorious and relentless march to the East. Laissez-faire and neoliberal economics will set free the mystical powers of "creative destruction" and the holy "invisible hand" will lift those poor, oppressed Moldovans, which we care so deeply about, into glorious material nirvana.
For years, the country has been targeted by the US.gov, and has had its fair share of "civil society" and "student" demonstrations, along with the completely predictable "twitter revolutions". The problem is that the previous OTPOR style "color revolutions" have not really gained traction, and we have not been able to provide them freedom.
Not to worry though. Moldova presents an irresistible Georgia-style scenario, since there is an area outside the control of the Moldovan government (Transnistria) where Russian troops are stationed. The "free world" will certainly stick it to those evil, imperialist Ruskies by providing peace bombs, freedom rockets, and justice bullets to rid our beloved Moldovans from the evils of communism.
Great post. I agree 100%
I love the smell of truth in the morning.
Let's all just follow China's example of a communist quasi capitalist structure. They have the carrot and the stick.
Moldova is a small country. Generally speaking the smaller a country is the less likely it is it could prosper under communism, due to limited domestic natural resources and small internal markets. It could be possible, theoretically, for big countries like China, Russia or the USA to thrive under communism, but never small states like Cuba or Moldova.
Small states need to trade a lot more than large states because they cant be as self sufficient as the larger states, which are hardly self sufficient nowdays but could be quite close to if desired. In order to trade one needs to export, to compete in international markets, to think in terms of quality and price, like the capitalists do. Its just not possible for them to lock their borders and attempt to build utopia.
Moldova should either team up with a larger state or give up communism.
The only ones that really thrive under communism are the communist party elite. Everyone else is screwed.
Seems like the only ones really able to thrive under capitalism are those that can organize themselves into a clique or cabal and pool their resources to gain control of a political sytem like a democracy or kleptocracy, somewhat akin to AIPAC.
Agreed, but not all are as observant as you. The braindead and the higher functioning dullards will paste the scarlet letter of "anti-semite" on you.
NO, they are NOT smarter than the goy, they are only more devious, deceptive and well connected.
BTW, has anyone looked up the definition of the word "semite"?
(Look up in an old, printed on paper non-revisionist dictionary for accuracy)
Funny how a politically hijacked term actually includes the people that hate jews.
I disagree. Pure communism can never and will never work work in any state sized entity. It can work on a village level in an agricultural or hunter gatherer type situation however, when macro poly-ticks get involved, the hippy utopia of communism will always fall apart and the population will suffer.
History tells the story, Over and over again.
How does life in Moldova compare to life in Ukraine? Or Spain and Greece? Or Romania and Poland? Any volunteers to move to any of these?
Yes, but not to Spain or Greece.
