No, more like the Soviet Union. Frau Merkel knows her communist tactics pretty well:
I have no idea (I'm just kidding, I do) why people take literal communists (Merkel was a member of a communist movement in her youth), the EU (founded by & populated with dozens of Marxists/globalists/progressives/anti-nationalists of all stripes), watch them enforce stasi-esque tactics & think "wow, it's Nazi Germany all over again!". Despite the fact communists ruled half the country for 45 years so we have a pretty good idea about where these people come from on the political spectrum.
Meanwhile native Germans are under house arrest, their rights are stripped, borders remain open & Muslim/African "refugees" are still forcibly imposed upon the German people (& yes, complaining about any of this usually results in the police knocking on the door). I mean anyone who walks down a street in Berlin 2020 & sees the racial demographics + cultural decay of the German capital & thinks "yeah, this was what Hitler dreamed of!" probably has some pretty good drugs.
It's the only explanation.
