    Again, I agree that the fascists weren’t properly tried for their crimes and removed from the institutions (they were in east-germany). I’m just saying that there’s a consensus nowadays about using those terms to refer to countries that changed their regime at least in theory. If you want to make the argument to change that consensus, you’d be better understood explaining from the start your issues with the terms because of the lack of renovation of people in power and power structures, rather than just saying “there’s no other Germany”.

      Considering the context I priorityzed brevity. I’ll make a note and include that as a chapter in my magnus opum.
