That is exactly what I mean.  For example, Herr Röllig who gives tours at a former Stasi prison in Berlin:

"Röllig said the Left Party, which emerged from the communist party that ruled East Germany to become a major electoral force in both eastern and western Germany, even sharing power in the city-state government of Berlin, has been propagating a warped view of the past. Left Party officials including Bodo Ramelow, the regional party leader in the eastern state of Thuringia, are on record denying that East Germany was an "unjust state.""

That was from a Big Orange diary on torture that I wrote, maybe I should repost it here.

In anycase, these sentiments are not condusive to growing the party, in my humble opinion.

"Schiller sprach zu Goethe, Steck in dem Arsch die Flöte! Goethe sagte zu Schiller, Mein Arsch ist kein Triller!"
