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

Example of the one thing the west is good at being used against it: Propaganda.

You don't say "we're perfect." You say "oh well sure we've got our flaws, but it's nuanced and really the other guys aren't even trying!"
Now it's just being deployed by socialists. They say "oh well the DDR wasn't perfect, you couldn't choose your own apartment (which cost 50 euro a month) and people had so much free time they fucked a lot, which isn't very productive. Compare it to our modern system where we can't fix our own things and we work so hard we're too tired to fuck! We make so much stuff! Anyway if you wanna ironically buy a Lenin poster or this book going into more details, feel free to do so!"
