Found at the DDR museum in Berlin. Apparently making childrens play with each other is communist propaganda.

Parenti quote.

A note written in the wall of a museum saying: A PLANNED CHILDHOOD The Kindergarten was not only a good source of childcare, It was the first state institution of education that a child would visit. Seizing this early opportunity to convince the next generation of the joys of Socialism, the state ensured that more than 90 per cent of children were granted a place. The day was subject to rigid planning. Children were encouraged to do everything in the collective: playtime, meals and even the afternoon nap left ne room for individual initiative. By Party logic, a good Socialist life in the community was more important than the development of individual abilities

Is this not how kindergartens are everywhere in the world or am I missing something? They are trying to make it sound extra nefarious

    Okay but nap time was fucking bullshit and I had better things to do than lay on a cot pretending to sleep for an hour or whatever the fuck.

    It was truly afwul.

    Except that one time when some girl laying next to me was trying to teach me how to count to a 100. I tried to show it off to my parents later that day but couldn't remember any numbers past 50
