Anarchism In Romania
Anarchism in Romania developed in the 1880s within the larger Romanian socialist movement and it had a small following throughout all the existence of the Kingdom of Romania. Social anarchism was initially propagated by the ''Revista Ideei'' during the time of the Old Kingdom, but following the rise of Bolshevism, socialist tendencies were sidelined in favor of individualism and vegetarianism, which were the predominant anarchist tendencies in Romania during the 1920s and 1930s. After the Romanian Communist Party takeover in 1947, no other alternative political movement was allowed, so the anarchist movement faded away.
