This was an AH illumination, like John Belushi in the church in "The Blues Brothers" *reverent homage*
WI the Communist regimes, whose most loathsome feature was their jailing of entire nations "for security reasons", left the unhappy,the dissidents etc. simply go (obviously implanting a great number of spies in the West such way, to counterbalance the neat loss in tech skil, manpower and so on)?
What effects could this move have, had it been made say after 1956, with the destalinization, and no Berlin Wall? Do you believe, like me, that some people would simply come back finding freedom too much a burden?
Could Communism have a possibilty of an inner peaceful evolution from totalitarian tyranny to multiparty democracy, instead of fossilizing and suiciding?
