It failed to achieve socialism and collapsed, like the rest of the eastern bloc. Lets learn from it and move on to a new socialist movement, not tied to old failed revolutions.
It was the best out of the Soviet aligned european socialist states tho.

Oh they do give it attention… but the evidence of DDR being some historically good state is so flimsy it can be blown out by a fart.
Asher Cox
only good german state ever

It was great, komraden.
And the Stasi are doing a fine job at weeding out Western collaborators and enemies of the revolution!

False flagger detected, east germans didnt say comrade and thats not how you would even write it in german

It's written Kameraden (pl.) and Kamerad (sing.)
Also Kameradinnen (fem. plural).
Interestingly enough in the german language, "Kamerad" would be something a a nazi would say. At least in Germany it has a strong right wing connotation, even to this day. The communist pendant to Kamerad would be "Genosse".

Is it true that the DDR was one of the first countries in the world to legalize "gay marriage"?
I see that around a lot and I always wondered if that is true, never found any sources
Henry Ortiz
Nazis were homos so it wouldn't surprise me
Matthew White
the flag is kickass, we should definitely use that hammer and compass combo again to signal unity between manual and intellectual labour
Jack Moore
its funny cause the west now has a more expansive surveillance state than the GDR and the USA has more people in prison than there were in the gulags at the height of stalin's purges
Joshua Walker
netherlands actually, just 16 years ago

The Soviet Union under Lenin did it 100 years ago but Stalin fucked it up
Thomas Reed
pretty sure lenin just decriminalized homosexuality and didnt allow gay marriage
Adrian Kelly
The only reason why gay marriage is a issue is because it is a economic union. Why did soviet bloc countries need bother when private property had been abolished?
Jason Allen
Germany is just as authoritarian now as the DDR was (if not more) i.t's just that they're not in your face now

DDR WAS PURE
East Germany was more free:

Honecker was a true socialist and if it wasn't for the failure of Krenz and Gorbachov the standard of living and level of industrial output in east Germany would be much higher than it is today.

Coz you dummy a war had just killed a huge portion of the population and policies to reinstate the birth rate were needed.

East German prison labour was used to create commodities for foreign companies, including Ikea and Aldi. What a cool country!
