This is the fault of communism, somehow
It's communism's fault, because this wouldnt be a thing if they hadn't stopped at berlin.

Being the first socialist experiment made things a lot harder. The socialist world hadn't yet developed the Cuban moral vest, the Laotian cloak of invisibility and forgetting, The Vietnamese power of turning into killer trees, or the Chinese power to get stronger every time it collapses. All they had was tactical deployments of Stalin to devour the enemy's granaries in single fell swoops of the man-sized steel spoon from which he took his name.
