Cheers Fez. In the 1950's in the GDR the government wanted to ban this but relented - seeing it as a ''Victory of progressive ideals over ''bourgeois, capitalist and religious values ''
It became more prolific there than anywhere else in the World - what was it ?

I guess loosely to do with Marxism though he never actually wrote anything on this particular theme - more that under their interpretation of it nothing was private
Germany had always had something about the FKK but in the East they took it to far more to heart.

Ok. clues. The bare facts are these - the East German regime was initially against these but not only relented in the end, but ended up being positive about them. They actually had more of these than anywhere else - of course it rains less there than in the former West Germany.

You got there Yorkie. FKK stands for ''Freikörperkultur'' and refers to nudist beaches or parks where nudism is allowed and the GDR had more of these per head than any other country. Whether Marx had anything to say on this subject is unknown - but the regime saw it as constructive '' against bourgeois ideals, capitalist and religious values'' (quite how they came to that conclusion i don't know) also it placed all classes on the same footing. Privacy, and individualism, were not things which the GDR valued much - unbelievably in their schools there were no separate cubicles in the toilets (they all sat next to each other) because they wanted to discourage all egoism and individualism - everything they did they did in groups (Marx would have turned in his grave). Saw all this at the museum of daily life in the GDR in Berlin (there were some good things about the place as well). Anyway, over to you.
