Jetlag woke me up at 4am, walked over to Checkpoint Charlie, crazy how a wall cut Berlin in two, one side with capitalism, freedom and prosperity and the other with communism, secret police, and misery

With all due respect, I am from Berlin and my whole family comes from the East. Please educate as not everything was bad in this system and talk to people who actually experienced it and you will encounter varied opinions.

Decent health care, no drug addictions, low life standard but accessible for everyone, free education, neighbors working and helping each other more than nowadays.

Sorry this activates me as you are not a person who can judge the upbringing of my family.
