instead they took the decision to re-build the parts they owned rather than let the then Russian communists take over. we all know the Yanks are obsessed with communities that don't work the way they like.
...and the parts they did rebuild, turned out to be so appealing that the East Germans had to build a wall to stop their own people from fleeing over there to escape from their socialist "paradise".
As for the Russian communist system not working the way the yanks liked, I would say it didn't work the way most people liked. It was a one party dictatorship which brooked no dissent and sent millions of innocent people to their deaths in labour camps. I know that many leftwingers were apologists for the Soviet system, but most of them have seen the error of their ways now. Of course, I realise that you're still living in your own version of the 1930's class struggle, so I suppose you've some catching up to do.

The Brussel's Nitwits now want to abolish the 'Union Flag' and replace it with some nondescript logo to 'celebrate' the instition of Europe. I'd rather we invaded Normandy again and kicked some sense into the politically correct elite who are intent on wiping out any form of independence for it's member states.

If we really are to become a true European community (which I still fear will end in another bout of hostilities) then the Brussel Sprouts should set an example and be prepared to dig their hands into their bulging back pockets to help out those unfortunates whose lives and homes have been devastated by the terrible floods engulfing Cumbria in particular. Bumbling Brown, meantime has offered a desultory ONE MILLION from government coffers, which won't even buy enough buckets and mops to begin the clearing up process.

Under democracy one party always devotes its chief energies to trying to prove that the other party is unfit to rule - and both commonly succeed, and are right.
