I remember the British propaganda machine 2 years ago, and they finished only 3rd or 4th. Nothing to write home about, really. Only one DDR athlete ever was found guilty of doping, compared to a fast growing list of Americans 1,000s of names long. You amateurs gotta do it right, or not at all.
Yes, a great system, and preferable to capitalism. DDR was a long way better of than 150 or so poor capitalist countries, or say Detroit. What a drab, dreary, miserable place. The contrast with E. Germany is incredible to anyone who witnessed it.
And here is what I see when I hear the word 'capitalism'. Utter and total destruction of the world for profit, and people drowning in garbage, hungry and diseased. Pictured is the Ciliwung river in Indonesia. The few clean nations of the West don't matter, manufacturing has been moved to places with no environmental standards.
