    We did it the best from 1933-1945, but currently we are nowhere near the american police state.

      ACAB. Doesn’t matter where or when in the world we’re discussing. ACAB is universal.

        While this is true, there are still various degrees of how much the police is used as a tool of oppression and the shit we see in America is miles away from what we see in Germany.

      I’d argue the Stazi were far more effective than the Gestapo, and that German police stating peaked in the mid 1980s.

        Fair enough with the Stasi. I could see how why, but I Am not capable of comparing the effectiveness of both.

          The Gestapo relied almost entirely on public informants. The Stasi had an extensive and qualitative surveillance apparatus.
