Didn't East Germany call itself the 'Democratic Socialist Republic of Germany?'

Or am I wrong?

At the expense of every other kind of liberty which belongs to everyone.

If you want to sell yourself down the river that way, that is fine by me, move to europe.

My liberty, on the other hand, isn't for sale.

So basically, the left wants to turn the entire country into a large commune like the ones that were tried on a smaller scale in the 60-70s. The ones that always failed because eventually the moochers and leeches outnumber the producers.

Congratulations DUmmies, you've arrived at that endpoint while we still have some capitalism left.

If they were honest then they would have to admit that human nature would turn that arrow upwards to end at communism.

To be fair, the Soviet Union was crushing the **** out of East Germany in retaliation to the invasion and destruction of huge parts of the USSR in WWII. It was never supposed to be a 'freely run' country of East Germany. Really, and I am biased as most of my mother's family was liquidated by the Nazis in Kiev between being destroyed by the Soviets before and after WWII, I don't have a lot of sympathy for the darkness that fell over Eastern Germany 1945 to 1990.

It sounds just as bad as I thought it was.  Maybe worse.  It sounds like chaos, mob rule, etc.

The first sentence, "The workers take the means of production from the capitalist class, and reorganize their economic life on radically democratic lines", is a delusion written in blood.

Playhardwithballs. In the interest of accuracy, you see.

H-5 earned and issued!

This graphic is just a smokescreen to try to dissociate their version of Marxism from what Lenin, Stalin, and the other Soviets did. Reality is that Lenin, Stalin, et al, took "the means of production from the capitalist class" in the name of "the workers", and got bogged down in the process of "reorganiz(ing) their economic life". If these fools ever got power, they too would bog down at that stage, and "on radically democratic lines" would be as much pie in the sky for them as it was for the people of the Soviet Union (or China, or Cuba, or NoKo, or Vietnam ...).

And these fools would prove themselves every bit as oppressively self-indulgent as were Communist leaders and apparatchiki in their various countries.
