  • No, they’re looking at what life for regular people is like udner a capitalist regime.

    And claiming that people stuck together in spite of the government is a real galaxy brain take there bud. The reality is that GDR’s socialist policies eliminated unemployment, provided cheap housing and childcare, and guaranteed basic necessities for everyone, which created material security is what allowed neighbors to look out for each other instead of competing for survival as they are forced to do under capitalism. The community you remember was a direct outcome of a system designed to put human needs above profit.

    The wall was a defensive measure against a fascist West that was actively trying to undermine the GDR economically and politically as has been documented beyond all doubt. Meanwhile, the ransacking you witnessed after 1990 proved exactly what the GDR was protecting its citizens from. Dismissing all of that as rose-colored glasses is truly the height of intellectual dishonesty.

    It’s always the people who got theirs and have zero empathy for the needs of others who praise the transition to capitalism in post Soviet states. You’re all telling on yourself there.
