There is something especially poisonous about Stalinists, still
attempting to minimise his crimes so long after Khrushchev's secret
speech, isn't there? Are you seriously saying that there was mass-
killings and show-trials in Germany post-unification on a scale to
dwarf the killings in 1937-8?

If you could read or even understand what you are reading, you would
not ask such silly questions.

Show trials were held, yes. Mass killings not, but lots of people got
thrown into misery, with their old age pensions cut because of their
political stance.

But there are lots of German capitalist politicians who dream of
using the army against their own population. In Afghanistan they have
tested a terrorist attack killing 150 people by making two tank lorry
explode, which were stuck in a sand bank in a middle of a river
crossing, unable to move forth or back.

But I can't let you blur the actual issue we are discussing he the
railway workers in Berlin, whose social conquests of the past 6 decades
could not be destroyed by the FRG taking over the GDR, what Herr Schnell
now wants to accomplish by dissolving the current S-Bahn Berlin GmbH and
making all their workers jobless.
