Luko: why did people flee the DDR, even at risk to their lives, in
such numbers that the DDR needed armed guards to keep them in? If it
was as good as you say, why would people have been so keen to leave
it? And why didn't you live there while it existed?

This is completely irrelevant to the issue we are discussing he
the wishes which Herr Schnell voiced in this thread (and in many
variations in other forums and in his native tongue).

I also can't understand which you are bringing up the stalinist
bloody destruction of the Russian communist party and his murder of
revolutionaries. Herr Schnell does not propose to shoot or otherwise
kill the Berlin railway workers, he only wants to make them unemployed,
push them down in misery, so that they do no longer put up any
resistance to the capitalist exploitation, obeying to the whip and
bowing to a further driving down their wages and working conditions.

Herr Schnell detests that other people actually do not give up easily
their conquests which they had acquired over the past six decades or so.
He likes to point to the difference between workers in, say Hamburg or
Munich, who have lived all their lives under capitalism and those pesky
railway workers in Berlin who have not, and wants to subjugate those
into submission.
