As someone who is relatively new to all of this, the DDR seems like the best model socialist state that's ever been created. Yes? No? What were the pros or cons of it? If you're thinking I could probably read up on it you're right, but to be honest from what I've seen on this board for the last couple of weeks your analysis seems far more easy to digest and also more pertinent.

No:
You put too much faith in us to be honest.
There are posters that know the ins and outs of the DDR, probably from former-DDR inhabitants even.
Also their logo was based af.

And even some of the bad stuff can be put into perspective. It takes years to get a car? Well, here it takes over a decade to become eligible for social housing, and the list just keeps getting longer. I'd rather live in a country which guarantees housing and has solid transit but getting a car is a hassle than the other way around.
Fun fact: the DDR allowed a christian, liberal democratic and nationalist party. The BRD did not allow a communist party.

Were the Stasi as brutal as depicted in many Western TV dramas and films? Or were they just incredibly good at their jobs?
