Have you lived in the GDR? How can you draw this comparison?

The "loosing the job" part is almost the same.

In the GDR, the state went large ways to distance themselves from facism and the anti-semitism of the past, while in reality, the jews weren't treated in a reasonable ways, couldn't get their property back and such nuisances.

My mom was a teacher in the GDR, and she made the mistake of asking "How are the jews in the GDR doing now?".

Yes, I have. I see the same methods being used, though the outcomes are "just" cancellations and not imprisonment (yet!).

You seem to equate a 'report' button with a terror regime. So, is the federal republic of Germany which allows you to report something to the police for investigation also 'like the GDR'?

Don't forget the Inoffizielle Mitarbeiter, please. The denouncing culture in the DDR is nowhere comparable to what happened in the BRD.
