Please. Böll wrote about West Germany. But even in the 70s the situation was much, much better than it has ever been in Russia or China in the last century. And this includes both, freedom and social welfare. I can elaborate if needed.

I did not claim that the situation was as bad as in Russia or China. In Germany government harassment of "terrorists" and other unwanted elements was bad enough though. Heinrich Böll's treatment is well known.

It is true though that unlike today, Germany did have an actual terrorism problem in the 1970s.
