Could East Germany have ended up like North Korea? A "rouge" state which follows it's own ideology and is only nominally aligned to Russia (in the same way North Korea is only nominally aligned with China)?
East Germany dabbled in nationalism (despite also claiming that West Germany was a thinly-veiled Nazi successor). It's plausible that they or some other Eastern European satellite state (Romania?) moves towards some kind of National Bolshevism akin to North Korea's Juche, but I doubt the USSR would allow it in Germany.

I dont think it would have been possible considering how geographically isolated North Korea is in comparison.

I wonder what would have happened if Rumanians never murdered Nicolae Ceaușescu. At any rate it seems like Rumanian, Albanian and Serbia could have been in such a position but it would have been difficult during the maymay which was the Yeltsin years as they didn't have any powerful state actors backing them.

What if East Germany adopted strasserism?

Like I said, probably KGB-backed coup.

Sloba tried. Sloba died in prison. Sloba got a lot of his own people killed for nothing.
Don't be like Sloba.

West Germany was an American vassal. Not a nazi successor state. Nazi germany was disolved.

How does that happen? Strasserism was dead before WW2.
