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

Lol I was there recently and also noticed that. The whole museum was full of propaganda, but it was cool to see some of the exhibits, like the Trabant. Some "fun" anticommunist highlights included:

  • The dystopian evil jail cell run by the communist dictators (about the same size as the room I rent in [major city, imperial core country])
  • The dystopian evil kindergarten with a rigid schedule including play and nap time
  • The dystopian evil standard allocated apartment that EVERYONE had and there was NO individuality (much bigger than the room I rent, and for much less money)
  • The dystopian evil SEX that all the HORNY EAST GERMANS were having (the museum explained it as a result of there being nothing else to do, lol)
  • The dystopian evil DIY repair culture
  • The dystopian evil tired bureaucrats who looked more like people than Bond villains
  • The dystopian evil LGBTs who weren't forbidden from existing by the state
  • The factory farming that happened under the DDR (which, like, as a vegan, sure, but it's not like the Federal Republic or any Western country wasn't doing this)
  • There was literally a panel saying that all Eastern bloc states weren't allowed to deviate from the USSR's policies or will, then gave an example of the DDR doing just that to resist Soviet reforms in '85

And every single bullet point here made my blood boil (supposed to be a translation of some of the key terms, without propaganda):

spoiler (sorry, I only photographed the English text)

Anyways, I guess I funded anticommunist propaganda by visiting and also buying a DDR patch

I got through the first page and decided that was enough self harm for one night.

This goes against volcel-judge ! We must denounce this as bourgeois behavior!

As opposed to the cheap dime-a-dozen housing that gets smacked up everywhere, rented for outrageous prices and god help you if you paint a cabinet or drill a hole in the wall - Goodbye deposit.
