German Democratic Republic is "East Germany".

Improved relations?  THE WALL MUST GO!

Hungary now allows nearly all its citizens to travel to Austria.
They are starting to rip down the fences that adjoin the free
fire zone.  THE WALL MUST GO!

If socialism is such a wonderful system, especially with perestroika
coming, why does it take the threat of death to keep the workers
in a workers paradise.  THE WALL MUST GO!

Remember it was only a few years ago that sound-tracking machine
guns were used by the German Democratic Republic to slaughter
its own citizens, trying to leave.  (Needed, of course, because
there was some problem with the unreliability of border guards
not wanting to murder families fleeing the "workers' paradise).
THE WALL MUST GO!

That there are people trying to "normalize" relations with a
country like the GDR says a lot about gullibility, doesn't it?
THE WALL MUST GO!
