Example of the one thing the west is good at being used against it: Propaganda.
You don't say "we're perfect." You say "oh well sure we've got our flaws, but it's nuanced and really the other guys aren't even trying!"
Now it's just being deployed by socialists. They say "oh well the DDR wasn't perfect, you couldn't choose your own apartment (which cost 50 euro a month) and people had so much free time they fucked a lot, which isn't very productive. Compare it to our modern system where we can't fix our own things and we work so hard we're too tired to fuck! We make so much stuff! Anyway if you wanna ironically buy a Lenin poster or this book going into more details, feel free to do so!"
