Huh? Chemnitz, Leipzig, Potsdam etc were communist.
Germany is still under foreign military occupation. Only one of the armies left. The communists formed a Sinatra doctrine that the other foreign military occupation never did.
- roenxi 2y ago> Germany is still under foreign military occupation. I think the US actually started withdrawing recently. But the point is the people in Germany are in a great position compared to anywhere that got serious about Communism. The Chinese might be the first group to go from Communist to prosperous; we'll see how they go on a per capita bases. But when the dust settles it won't be because they have people running the show subscribe to communist principles of the 1930s Europe variety.
