I have heard plenty of first hand accounts from people who were born there, who live there, and elsewhere who go back to visit family often, that say otherwise.

Also you

here’s a huge difference between “I experienced this” and “I’m extrapolating a huge generalization from my tiny shred of experience”.

When did he claim that, eh?

Yeah, nah, I'm just gonna do a whataboutism on you and ask you about their experiences... for all I know, these people are affiliated with National Endowment for Democracy and other western NGOs, because that would explain a lot

You seem like pro-regime changer, so I guess agree to disagree....

Think about it....

Put yourself in the POV of one of those ultranationalistic German clowns in that period:

spoiler

You've lost the war against the "untermensch", and you believe economic opportunity is just one of your worries

(maybe your brother was deployed to Belarus for some "soldier work" prbly got sentenced to hang or go to gulag and you might meet a similar penal result, if not the country itself),

Either way, with most of your Eastern Germany being underdeveloped as fuck and already ravaged by war, not to mention the reparations of Soviet Union demanded from you and the radical change of your society from a Hitlerite one to a Brotherly Socialist one, you probably had a bit of mindbreak....

Just remember that Germany as a whole nation was only united recently years ago in 1871, so to see this all, as an of course, a very ultranationalistic German, would probably break your brain....

Compared this to the more-untouched and modernized West Germany, which still is in good shape in the Allied hands... and hasn't been forced to change much of its ranks from the Nazi era, you'd probably want to flee there too...

Tl;dr: it could be the fact that the sweeping societal whiplash transforming from to Hitlerite to a brotherly Socialist country and its ramifications could prbly do something with it...

But I mean, not all Germans in the Eastern part prbly share the same idea of fleeing the country, but yk, a new German people wasn't born without birthmarks of the old horrible Nazi Germany, whose anti-communist ideas had probably been imprinted long on some of them heavily....

I mean, what are you expecting in the western world, anyways?

Now relating to this, economic policy of the U.S, and to an extent, the West, influences thus heavily the migrant policy they have here...

Historically, they've taken cheap migrant labor, if not intelligentsia and some comprador bourgeoisie into their country, then during the Cold War, anti-communist reactionary diaspora, before synthesizing these policies so that they get the best of both worlds: a modern non-western Global South diaspora that are now likely pro-west if not anti-government to their own ethnic country, pro-liberalism, and ironically enough, probably pro-ancien regime...

That, and pro-western propaganda keeps seeping in around

It's a mixed hodge podge, and I guess one international Indian student of a working class background who directly hails from Kerela is different from an ethnic Indian whose parents were at least British collab-intelligentsia, if not comprador bourgeoisie in Kenya....

I suggest you ask SadArtemis, tankiedesantski, et other users who are of Chinese origins about their thoughts?

In his first source he cited, there were under 30,000 prisoners overall as 'total number of prisoners per year', which could just indicate the TOTAL PRISON POPULATION OF GERMANY OVERALL, NOT THE INFLOW AND OUTFLOW here...

Yet his second source states 200,000-250,000 political prisoners overall (not per year), sourced by the Deustcher Bundestag, which is West Germany's parliament speaking....

Twenty-seven of the 45 senior cadres who had faced detention by the disciplinary watchdog were found to have retired from their positions when they faced investigation, according to further research.

Weasly scum...

“Among the officials arrested in recent years, not many were caught for corruption in their current positions. Most of the problems occurred in the past few years, or even more than 10, 20 years ago. The CCDI is no longer following the previous unspoken rule that retired officials will be spared from investigation,” he said.

Oh wow... they'd reap what they'd sow

“Now, no one is safe. As Xi digs deeper, he just finds more problems that accumulated over the past three decades due to rapid economic development and lax party discipline. And there is no sign of him stopping the digging.”

Wait, which Hexbear or Lemmygrader decided to write this shit... it sounds like the satire they would make, from the POV of an anti-China watcher. The type of Millions Purged or some shtick...

A total of 294 senior officials have been sacked by the CCDI in the 11 years since the anti-corruption campaign was launched, according to the Post’s count.

However, this number does not include most of the corruption probes in the Chinese military, which conducts its own investigations through the Discipline Inspection Commission. The agency, which operates within China’s top military command – the Central Military Commission (CMC) – led by Xi, operates under extreme secrecy. Beijing announces such cases very selectively, as it did for the investigations of former CMC deputy chairmen Xu Caihou and Guo Boxiong during Xi’s first presidential term. They were the highest ranking officers in the People’s Liberation Army to be targeted since the anti-corruption drive began.

“I suspect only a tiny amount of information regarding these cases will be released to the public, just for minimal formalities.” The CCDI will begin its third plenum from next Monday to lay out the work priorities in the new year for tens of millions of discipline inspectors across the country.

The purge has arrived, kids... be ready for imminent struggle secessions and self-criticism!

To me they're like mere servants of the State, like Lenin talked about in "2. What is to Replace the Smashed State Machine?" in his writing "The State and Revolution"

Under Capitalism, they are its privileged knights that try to deflect and control, if not defend directly its image as "the only option", who have their incentive in doing so, with their class status stake being in their duty to shepherd the means of production and its resulting benefits

However, they don't own the means of production, as they merely manage it for the landholding, industrialist, and financier capitalists

On the other hand, under Socialism, while its privileges will be probably be done away, the PM class on its own would innovated upon, for their new duty of overseeing, managing, and reporting the collectivized cooperatives and state-owned enterprises..

Until the final stage of Communism arrives, I think they're pretty handy

I say this, because I hear such disgusted sentiment in Hexbear against them

Note: I know a bit about the bazingo techbro culture that the PMC is associated with, please don't criticize them solely on those vibes...

So far, I've only heard of nation-states committing atrocities whose gov't officials end up in the Hague...

How about companies, whose CEOs and stockholders have a role in committing such large scale crimes who deserve the wall?

Edit: Bonus points if you include a death toll...

From what I've read on wikipedia's Nestle

In a 2018 study, the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) estimated that 10,870,000 infants had died between 1960 and 2015 as a result of Nestlé baby formula used by "mothers in [low and middle-income countries] without clean water sources", with deaths peaking at 212,000 in 1981.[47]

Ask them if they've read about Dessalines, and ask their thoughts on them?

Whether it be the Github user who founded Lemmy, with his Anti-American and Marxist Leninist essays,

or

the Haitian general who fought against the French in the Haitian Revolution, and thus had a hand in wiping out many remnants of the white slave-owners... to create the first abolitionist country.

Just ask what they know and what they think of him?
