If you are looking for my opinion, I think it could’ve been better, the Prison Faction were a bit too pragmatic for my taste and their admiration for Stalin didn’t prove to translate into a commitment to socialism (with Romania cozying up to the West after Stalin’s death and hardliners being side-lined in favor of Ceaucescu).
I think Pauker would’ve made a very competent leader to guide Romania on a socialist path, and that Apostol would’ve likely done far better than Ceaucescu. Though all things considered Romania wasn’t terrible, and even with the miscalculations made by Ceaucescu, I believe a majority of Romanians regard the country as worse without communism.
Ive heard an joke on internet that every romanian who lived during ceaucesco did not liked it, but that they still think he was the best goverment romania ever haved.
I would say the metric is similar to how it was the soviet union during Stalin and Lenin. But you could also say why you think it was good.

Hmm I see. Do you have any documentation or works about it?
I did a ton of research around a year ago on it, I’d have to fish around for links and the like.
