Judging from how it looks after years of watching Vee, I wouldn't call Romania anything approaching capitalist. There are hardly any capitalist countries in Europe. Most are, at best, Fabian Socialist. I doubt that the military created the revolution from whole cloth, it seems more to me that Ceausescu was primarily to blame for the conditions that would inevitably lead to a revolution. The military exploiting the revolution, however, seems obvious and is actually one of the biggest problems of an unorganized revolution. Damn near anyone can take power if they have enough of a minimal support system to do so. Which is similar to what happened in Russia as well.
