You are wrong about East Germany It fell when the rest of Soviet block fell And it feel because of state of war here in Poland 81-83, and many more places where people fought with their goverment. There were many people killed, many were imprisoned, injured or suffered other way. There was a lot of pain, a lot of evilness. If you claim this counter-example, I will very disagree.
