That wall is to keep people out from another state, not in.

After all, they kept Paul Robeson in by simply pulling his passport, no wall needed.

I don't need to go to Wikipedia to read about Robeson. Guy became a Stalin fan and crumbled mentally when he realised the USSR was not what it claimed. Great singer though.

That's how east berlin marketed it too, it still features bi-directional blocking abilities, like all walls.
