>Deutsche
True
>Demokratische
Depends on your point of view. They had elections.
>Republik
True

>>1451229
>deutsche
all german culture was purged and replaced with soviet shit
>Demokratische
LMAO
>Republik
even north korea calls themselves a republic

>>1451229
The elections had 99% voting for the ruling party. That seems to be a bit manipulated

>>1451229
The elections were neither free nor secret, and they still lied about the results.

>>1451259
Depending on how you see manipulation. From the stories of my family I can tell that pretty much everybody voted (and how didnt go, was 'visited' at home by the MfS or some other states person with the ballot box in hand and kindly reminded of their Bürgerpflicht (the duty of a civilian))

>>1451250
On the contrary East Germany was more German than West Germany.

>even north korea calls themselves a republic
And that's true, even if it's really shit at being a republic.

back in 2014 or so, I asked my grandpa who he voted for. "Like always, SED" "Grampa, they do not exist anymore" "then whatever they are called nowadays"
He went blind 15 years prior, so someone must have helped him to put his vote. I can only imagine their bewilderment when he stated his party of choice.

>>1451284
lmao your grandpa is brainwashed as fuck

>>1451273
Yeah, but they still exaggerated the results. Look up the 1989 Kommunalwahlen.

>>1451288
Lad there's people in every country who've been voting for the same party since the 1960s.

>be born in one dictatorship more than half a century ago
>be raised and live in another for roughly half a century
>mfw getting indoctrinated in 2016

>>1451299
And they are all stupid sheeple who refuse to use their brain

Your grandpa has had 26 years time to realize that he doesn't live in a socialist dictatorship anymore, yet he didn't

>>1451290
aye, no discussion about that. I misunderstood your sentence. I thought you meant the voting turnout.

>>1451203
It was German, it represented the will of the people (not bourgeois democracy) and it was a republic.

>>1451308
A military regime doesn't get to decide what the will of the people is

>>1451305
the bloke up there wasn't me

What I dont get is, why he wouldn't realise it? Maybe he did and thats why he voted that way? Eastern Germans got fucked by the unification.

>>1451316
In what way did they? Yes, economically and even culturally they were behind on their western counterparts, but my dad told me something about the wester germans getting a wage cut to help stimulate the east

>>1451305
I can only imagine that He always voted left, always the"same" party but by now under 4 different names: KPD or SPD till they united in the East as SED and after the reunification first PDS and Linke

>>1451250
American post.

>>1451305
He's blind and senile you fucking dumbass.
