By comparison to Ulbricht and the other members of the Ulbricht Group that returned to Germany 🇩🇪 from the Soviet Union in 1945, this man sounds more educated and an intellectual.
Yeah, that's why he ran away and deserted. As Honecker said: "To lead the intellectuals is like to shepherd a sack of fleas." And as Mao said earlier: "The root cause of all liberalism is the bourgeoise lack of discipline."
@@marcelbork92 Wolfgang realized what Trotsky realized, the problem was Stalinism, not Marxism. What happened post-Lenin was anti-democracy as demonstrated by Stalin and Mao. No wonder Wolfgang fled totalitarianism.
I really do not understand why he was regarded as such a high-profile "expert" on communism? He was so utterly wrong with all his predictions. Especially he -- as all communists always would do -- heavily unterrated the power of nationalism, to such an absurd degree of not even mentioning its mere existence. So, he hardly was an "expert".
a rare vitness he was send to Germany after capitulation to install socialism in the eastern part of Germany with the so-called "Group Walter Ulbricht". And the only one fleeing to the west. He gas information nobody else has / talks freely about.
Danke fürs Hochladen.

I was not aware that Mr. Leonhard's rhetorical power in English was on the same level as in German.
