[big bad fab]

Vote away !
(remaining leaders and results in opening post)

I vote for Wilhelm Pieck

Ulbricht wasn't the only one to build DDR...
If Grotewohl may be judged more smoothly, Pieck was loyal to Stalin (see his period in the Komintern at a time where Stalin behave not very, *ahem*, smoothly).

[Хahar 🤔]

Gomułka not Gomółka

What's the difference? They sound exactly the same.

[Hans-im-Glück]

Egon Krenz

Wilhelm Pieck was a old style communist and i think he believe in all what he did. Egon Krenz was only a joke. In the 40ies and 50ies it was good to be a Stalinist, when you don't want to die this was important and this speaks against Pieck, but Krenz see that the communist system, Moscow style, don't work and what he did. He sends congratulations to Chinese Government that they kill all at the Tiananmen Square.

He sends congratulations to Chinese Government that they kill all at the Tiananmen Square.

But being in Moscow during the great purges and being at the head of the Komintern in the 1930s-1940s doesn't speak well for him.
And he remained president until 1960 (with the 1953 Berlin uprising crushed), even though Ulbricht was the one in charge.

Therefor I prefer to eliminate those who were in charge and bad, like Pieck, than those who were no more in charge even if they were stupid and bad, like Krenz.

fab, you are right, but for me is a man who believe what he did and doesn't do extrem evil things not so bad, like a incompetent Apparatchik (i don't know i write it correct ) who fight for a idea with no future. By the way, Pieck hasn't the power in East Germany. The strong man was Ulbricht. He was only the symbol of the past (of the old KPD)

But you did write it correctly!

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Gomułka not Gomółka

What's the difference? They sound exactly the same.

Yes, sound exactly the same in Polish, it's only writing

Anyway I'm glad this asshole is out

Vote Gustav Husak

[GMantis]

Egon Krenz
I agree with Hans-im-Glück

[GMantis]

Gomułka not Gomółka

What's the difference? They sound exactly the same.

It's common in Polish to mark the same sound with more than one letter. I know Kalwejt will not like this, but most Polish orthographic problems can be solved if they switch to Cyrillic

Wilhelm Pieck

He truly was evil. Krenz may have been as well, but he was more pathetic than evil.
