The GDR was socialist and arguably a tyranny.
Edit: As was The Third Reich.
- unprepare 11y agoFrom what little I know about East germany and post-WW2 soviet history - wasn't GDR controlled by the communist state of soviet russia? Was it socialistic in name only, or actually socialistic in structure and policy? Was Nazi germany not a dictatorship? How is that compatible with socialism at all?
- dghf 11y agoIf National Socialism was socialist because it had "socialism" in its name, then the GDR was democratic for the same reason.
