Not as formalized as the Stasis but we have had our witch hunts and lynchings caused by people who are snooping and spying.

There's no comparison. Its a night and day type difference. Even the McCarthy era, didn't remotely approach East Germany, either in terms of how many people where affected, or how severely they where affected.


True but it does happen here and its not supposed to.
