"Overrunning". WTF dude?
They kicked communists (usually agents of the Stasi, the secret police) out of government jobs, most of those had gotten the job because they were party members. That is hardly "nasty". The other way around would have been nasty.
Would you want Gaddhafi's son to keep his military pay after the regime has been overthrown?
- guard-of-terra 15y agoIf you deprive reasonably successful people of their jobs (and therefore self-respect, identity and lifestyle) - surely they would be bitter and revisionistic. The fact that you-ve tossed them a bone and they aren't starving won't help much. Disgruntling teachers and workers would not get you much popularity. People would vote for anyone who is not responsible for that. You insisting that anyone who suffered was a putrid Stasi agent would certainly make matters worse. If two Koreas one day would unite, this would be their second severe problem after economy.
