    This is also a reason why the DDR was a puppet state of USSR, by the way. There were no plans to build the wall when Ulbricht said that. He thought that at the time too and didn’t think he was lying. But whatever, Ulbricht was less Important then many think. One day, the USSR gave the order to build one. DDR was obligated to comply with USSR. Done. This has nothing to do with Socialism. DDR and Ulbricht were just puppets.

    Stalinists are not communists.

    So its actually little bit deeper then just a classical lie from a Politician. Its more a Politican that was just a mask.

      It even says in the rules that MLs arent communists. They never tried to achieve communism.

      This comm is mainly for socialists to dunk on MLs (mainly Stalinists, Juche and Maoists).

      Correction though: Stalin died in 1953. The wall was built in 1961. If anyone gave the command it was probably Khrustchev.

        I’m a little confused why you point out the rules. I didn’t tell that to you like you’re a Stalinist or something. I got from your meme and from the community that you are against it, obviously. It just was a statement from me.

        Aaand also thanks to you! The other dude also corrected me; I edited the comment. Sorry :)
