    This is capitalist propaganda. Yes the DDR was not perfect, but diverse artistic expression was allowed. I know because I lived in East Berlin. No one liked the Stasi situation but no one wanted to be annexed by capitalism either. The truth is much more nuanced. That is why it will never be heard. The hope was social liberalism and economic socialism. Now the hope is economic socialism and socialism liberalism. To find the balance between liberty and equality always.

    @@rexracernj7696 Germany has social democracy. The issues that come up, include gentrification of Berlin. The social Democrats sold all extra apartments to Investors and then to China to pay bills, this caused a housing shortage. So housing prices go up and people are not use to that. Or the fact that corporations will not create industry in the East. Contrary to popular belief Genossenschaften Cooperative like Konsum existed independently from the East German state. So new cooperative industry might be good rather than waiting for neoliberalism to deliver. But this means that people will need to take initiative and create jobs for themselves but could use help doing so.

    +Amanda Tessmer I'm blown away by so many people that act if they are the authority of defining words that nobody else really can ... In the big picture all states are socialist ,some just act as if they respect individual rights more than others. As far as the Progressive movement of the socialists Hitler copied and supported all of that platform... while basically becoming the king of using propaganda .

    Quite the opposite. Germany or Europe in general has a very interesting and great culture. Culture, communities and love of home were also very important during the DDR era. Folk songs were sung in the DDR, there were flag appeals and local festivals were celebrated.
