Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to clarify why in the Romanian history, the communist state has proved to be the most unsuited and incompatible institution with the mechanism of the Culture of Commune to Diffuse Tradition (Cultura Obștei de Tradiție Difuză), specific to the Romanian agrarian communities; furthermore, the article investigates why the communist state and the free rural communities were in structural and functional contradiction, impossible to be removed both theoretical and practically. Furthermore, the article argues that despite the fact that the city has benefited for more than 150 years of privileged and full attention of the Romanian public opinion, housing the capitalist economic activities of the Romanian free market and those of the political and administrative centralized state in inner or along, it remained an unarticulated social creature, ground and disturbed in the inner, an environment devoid of identity during this entire period.
