Found at the DDR museum in Berlin. Apparently making childrens play with each other is communist propaganda.

Yes, i think there is a panel where it tells you that some worker for a 3 room apartment pays 10% of their salary. Then they show you a standard 3 room apartment and while going through it I was so surprised because I would never be able to afford anything even close to it.

But all the museum is about how people where oppressed and poor !?

IIRC their big bad scary point, and admittedly that works on most germans, is that you have a Tram station right outside since nobody could afford or get cars

Driving is horrible and I want to die everytime I do it. I'd take the tram station over driving anyday.

I wish I had a tram station. I love trams.

I think the most egregious one to me was the stasi listening post that said they listened in to every 3rd person or something along those lines. this was post snowden, so by objective metrics that seemed a lot better than the allied NSA listening in to 100% of everything lol

Yeah they went into details about how horrible the prisons were in the 50's (so... jail cells full of nazis, boo hoo) and how they only got slightly better from the mid 60's onwards. What you saw from then on was miles better than any contemporary western jail cell.

smuglord: “Well, the people who MATTERED were oppressed and poor! How were they supposed to feel good about themselves if even the weak were allowed to live?”
