How so?  If you are a Stalinist, it would clearly be the former.  If not, it would clearly be the latter.

Can't You see that this very posture of yours was what transformed something that should emancipate workers into something that oppressed them even more?

more than what?

not so simple - a NATO-bound East Germany would have been both a symbolic and strategic disaster.

"Supporting the protesters" would require the protests to have had definable recognized aims, which was not the case.
Joining the protests. That's something else. That's something I presumably would have done.
