In the period following the Great Depression of the 1930s, philosophers and historians in Romania began to think about the differences between the ideals of capitalism and its failings for the average Romanian. At the same time, economists argued that the Romanian Bourgeoisie had a growing crisis, and recommended a balance between capitalism and Communism which is characteristic of the nation itself.

Recruitment for the Communist Party was challenging in the countryside due to the ideological opposition of the peasants to Communism. This opposition took the form of aspirations to own their land, their devotion to religion, and respect for tradition. The Romanian Communist Party would not gain power until after the Second World War.
