No. I'm making a facetious comment like they did, maybe slightly less shallow since I'm actually tying quality of life into tangible things like personal financial security and not something silly like whether or not I can buy a banana.
The saddest thing about East Germany is that their misery was more due to their supposed benefactors and "saviors", yet the Soviets bled them dry out of vengeance.
Because I'm somewhat Left you automatically knee jerk to "North Korea", so since you're somewhat not Left is it fair for me to automatically assume you're a Nazi? No. Of course not. Stop being stupid.
The crimes of the East German regime are similar to the crimes perpetrated to give people Banana's year round. If one is okay, I guess so is the other.
Unless you're over 50 years old, your opinion really isn't relevant.
The perpetual Grinding Poverty of East Germany has been dismantled and exported to states like Ireland and Greece, Bangladesh, and Mexico.
