Good Article.

The social conservatism of the 'really existing socialist' states amuses me when compared to what came after (especially when constrasted with rhetoric from conservatives over here).

Indeed, the Soviet bloc didn't like blue jeans.

Apparently one of the first things alot of East German men did after the collapse of the wall over in the west was to buy pornography (forbidden in the east)....

As in Goodbye Lenin.
