Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

I remember reading in MSM a year or two after the wall fell that people were complaining that at least in the GDR, they had food and work. I don't remember much more than that.

I remember not being allowed to say anything good about the GDR. It was often met with some "Yes, but [insert bad thing about the good thing]". It's a mantra.

That's sad. And probably still largely true in the West.
