The German Democratic Republic, East Germany; the GDR . . . those words conjure up images of the most repressive of all of the Communist states: files kept on most of the citizens, being subjected to constant Marxist propaganda; people avoiding striking up conversations with strangers, let alone expressing their opinions to them, lest the stranger be one of the nation’s army of volunteer snitches: a country governed be fear. Yet as I made my way to the Medieval town of Gotha to speak at a conference of fellow “based” people, I began to think about how, in many ways, this former Eastern Bloc country is less like a Communist state than Britain, which still sings of being the “mother of the free.”
