Love how you counter concrete, material facts like "guaranteed housing, employment, and childcare" with fact-free scare mongering like "political pressure" and "control over the media."

There's never any analysis about what this shit really means. "The fucking stasi" gets thrown out there like "the boogeyman" without even a thought towards how the U.S. security state violently repressed a nationwide movement against police violence in 2020, or how right now that same security state is violently repressing people protesting the genocide we're supplying. You're supposed to belive the stasi is the worst thing possible without ever digging into how it functioned, and certainly without asking how it compared to other states.
