No wonder he was stuck in the middle of the road. He couldn't move because of his massive balls.

Communism is not the real problem, dictatorship and totalitarism is. In order to have communism, you need totalitarism so in that sense communism bad. Socialism is actually a great thing that almost all developed countries have elements of (including US). France is mostly a socialist country but they're hugely democratic. Egypt used to be capitalist but with a islamist dictatorship. My point is, it all depends on whether or not the government suppresses the people.

They weren't part of the german armed forces, they were a separate autonomous institution but like all things Nazi, Hitler was the chief. That's what made the Nazi defense so weak, there was no individual leadership, everyone had to check with Hitler. Towards the end, everyone kinda did their own thing.

If you look, you can see, that if the did get his by the tank, he would have fallen backward, and be safe, because of the massive gap between the ground and the tank

[Armindo Ribeiro]

Your comment is funny because the protesters were mostly communist.

The SS were not the secret police they were a part of German armed forces. When he says ss i think he means secret service.
