∙ 11y agoFrom JFK's speak in Berlin. The context was more or less the following: There are people who don't understand why the free western countries have a problem with communism --> let them come to Berlin. In Berlin the problems (most famous the Berlin-wall to avoid people to get out of DDR) were obvious at that time.
JFK referenced also people who think communism is the future and people who thought about making business with communists.
