    In East Germany the people loved their nation most only weeks before collapse: 99,92% voted for the pro-soviet government.

    Then the CIA dropped 20 million agents from invisible helicopters which fakes mass demonstrations and used mind-control rays to make them love the west and hate the soviet union.

    In the first election after reunification the Communists got 11,1% of all votes in Former East Germany. Damned CIA mind control rays.

      This is my favorite tankie cope.

      “The CIA obviously staged the protests and rigged the election against the communists!”

      So like, they snuck in millions of undercover agents?

      “Don’t be ridiculous, that’s not how it works!”

      So they stuffed the ballot box?

      “No, that’s what we tried to do.”

      You mean they forced people to vote at gunpoint?

      “NO IT WAS THE PROPAGANDA.”

      So the CIA just… Convinced people to support Western politics?

      “IT’S NOT FAIR! HOW CAN WE WIN IF PEOPLE HAVE AGENCY!”

    88 just happens to be a Nazi reference used by white supremacists. Curious coincidences.

      This time it might actually be a coincidence, someone at the political bureau tried to pick the closest number to 100 that wouldn’t look made up, 73 they were promptly excited for sedition my their boss who added 3 to the number and routed it to his boss,. Repeat the process 5 times and there you go “88”.

    I just want to point out here that this is what many Trump voters are hoping for. If you’re a US citizen, please vote in November.

    even in a rigged election that stupid cunt isn’t able to achieve over 90%. what an absolute worthless sucker!

    Fast forward to the point where you put an end to your miserable life you russian fuck and finally relieve us from your existence!

      If you’re rigging an election, it can be better politically to give yourself 65% of the vote than 97% of the vote.

      97% is obviously fake. 65% is easier to make people beleive in.

        I know you’re wannabe-communists because it’s clear that based on your naivety and ignorance, none of you are out of high school yet.

        No adult with half a brain would buy into that nonsense.

          The irony of an American trying to educate someone else on their ignorance, while simultaneously expressing their deepest ignorance themselves.

            The irony of someone making blanket statements about an entire country of people while simultaneously posturing as someone that should be above such behavior.

            However, if you’re a communist- American or not- I’m smarter than you. Period. End of story.

                If you get your way, you just might have to some day. It’s with hope that you’ll grow up long before then though so you can stand against it with the rest of us.

    88% is so typical - for Nazis it means the eight letter of the alphabet twice, which means “Heil Hitler”. Given that the Z symbol of his genocidal war looks like a half Swastika we can now finally agree: Putin is the reincarnation of Hitler.
