The Stasi was the secret police of communist East Germany, not the Nazis.

it was socialist, not communist.

[-] Bernie_Sandals@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

No. It was communist.

The society itself was not communist, but It was definitely ruled by communists. Even Marx called himself and the people who followed his ideas communists, not "socialists seeking communism." When people say a country was/is "communist," they mean it's being ruled by Marxist-Leninists, not that it's achieved the hypothetical level of society that usually only Marxists are familiar with.
