That is Romanian. Here is a rough translation in English:
Redux: People in general are of at least three types: the majority who want others to spoon feed them everything and maintain order in society (let's call them followers so as not to use a more pejorative or Procrustean word), a minority of people who want complete freedom at any cost for others (the libertarians), and a very few who want to control the mobs as if they were inanimate objects (the psychopaths). This is true in any society. Communism, capitalism, despotism, absolute monarchy, etc. are just forms that try to reconcile the goat and the cabbage depending on who is at the helm, but the nature of people remains the same. Here is a concrete contemporary example of what half of Americans and half of Romanians want: a "daddy" to promise them everything and assure them of everything without the slightest concern for the side effects of establishing such a centralized power (not to mention the credibility of such promises). Everything that has happened, is happening and will happen are just Sisyphean permutations of the human condition.
