Ceausescu's Golden epoch of failed socialist rule by the Communist Party was nothing but a tarnished and empty goblet of promises and lies.
Western visitors commented on how beautiful Romanian women were, thin as twigs but foreign guests did not understand the real reason for this forced thinness-the lack of food, the rationing of food via stamped cards, the endless daily lines, and the Communist Party prescribed caloric rations.
The "Recommended" food intake was even lower for the rural population and their rationing cards entitled them to less food.
Workers involved in harder labor were entitled to extra 300 g of basic foods listed every month.
Their families had to stand in line for the extra food, if available, and present extra rationing coupons issued to them by the state.
Depending on the year and the type of shortages, usually caused by irrational exportation of food to foreign countries in exchange for hard currency and bad centralized planning by communist ideologues who had no idea how to run any economy, rationing cards were issued for shoes, clothing, food like flour, beans, cooking oil, sugar, rice, and other necessities.
Ceausescu's Golden epoch of failed socialist rule by the Communist Party was nothing but a tarnished and empty goblet of promises and lies for the hapless proletariat who barely survived on an equal pay sustenance level that would have shocked even other Stalinist satellite countries.
