    The fact you claim East Germany started out as a “police state” tells me you have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. Undoing decades of Western liberal bias and propaganda is pretty difficult, but if you’re actually interested in history, there’s plenty of literature available.

      Riiiiight. How do you explain all those bullet holes on the eastern part of the Berlin Wall? We’re a little far removed from then for you to cling to Soviet propaganda. There’s way too much testimony and the Stasi’s own files were released in the 90s. Are you going to tell me Saddam Hussein didn’t model his secret police on that brutal inhuman efficiency? Next, you’ll tell me Saddam was just misunderstood? What are you on?

        Lmao, where does Saddam fit in to this? As I said before, you should probably study slightly more about the subjects in which you pretend to be an expert – the Berlin wall wasn’t even built until 11-12 years into the GDR’s existence. And I’ll leave it up to you to try and figure out why it was.
