Communism sucks eggs, and nobody knows that better than someone who has suffered through it without being the ones in charge. (The ones in charged LOVE communism.) Cracked.com contributor Jason Iannone teams with former communism victim Patrice Beconne to describe her time in Romania under the rule of Nicolae Ceausescu.
