Was "Nobody intends to build a wall" Machiavellian?
It is more in the form of Doublethink: "Truth is What Serves the Party".
It is in the interest of the party for the world to believe that they have no intention of imprisoning their own people.
And since the party is always right, there is no contradiction in the statement (2 + 2 = 5). Later, after it became a reality that couldn't be ignored, this was simply termed as an Anti-fascist barrier (Antifaschistischer Schutzwall).
Note: The text of the song (Lied der Partei, Die Partei hat immer recht) was changed in 1965, removing references to Stalin (who had become a unperson in November 1961).
