Why did East Germany Fail?

Why did East Germany Fail?

It had already passed the capitalist stage of development, unlike its eastern bloc neighbors.

All answers online are meme stuff like 'Human nature'.

Because of western pressure

It didn't fail, it was destroyed.

The immense unpopularity of the government, alienation between the workers and the state, and discontent with the results of economic plans (I've spoken to a proclaimed East German who said people were particularly angry at the lack of luxury products, but I'm not sure if he actually ever lived in the DDR) lead, in part, to the collapse. It's not really something that you can summarize in an imageboard post. The Wall also played a huge part, as it kept people away from their west Berlin families.

Friendly reminder that the DDR mistreated its citizens to both uphold Soviet hegemony and pander to foreign corporations. Prison labor was used to create products to be sold to certain companies, including Ikea and Aldi. Life still did improve for a majority of the population, especially in comparison to Nazism, and living standard was not offensively bad, but that does not stop the serious mistakes they made.

Stasi were pretty shit, even if you don't believe western propaganda

It was destroyed by Western imperialists and it's existence was impossibe after failure of Soviet Union.

What a beautiful people.

Wasn't Silesia basically the East's only hope for a strong economy? They lost it to Poland.

The French wanted something similar with the Saar and Ruhr, but the other Allies wanted a strong West.

The Soviets didn't destroy the German spirit like the burgers did, but still life was nowhere as good as before the enemy occupation. With the Fuhrer Germany was a superpower and the people were living very well (yes, capitalists were doing even better, that doesn't change the fact the people were doing great). The DDR was shit nothing and people were risking their lives to escape to the other side because of burger cash. Burger cash isn't the reason East Germany failed though, but is one/the reason West Germany succeeded.

Maybe the best for the Soviets would've been not splitting the country in two. With a single country there'd be no need for a Stasi or wall, which didn't get the Soviets any sympathy, at the cost of influence but that influence didn't do them much good in the end anyway. But no way the greedy Allies assholes would ever do that.

They never stood a chance tbh

poor kid

Conspiracy by the West.

Economic planning is shit.

I had no meaning in Eastern Bloc economy because both Poland nad East Germany cooperated in their development goals.

If then, why in private industry economic planning already works?

this is beyond fucking delusional

...

When physics is too Jewish so you decide everything being made out of ice is a better explanation of the universe.

Admittedly, the kid is dressed like a fag.
But you can tell that he chose his own shit.
We all make mistakes.
And it's best to grow up with some criticism, a good sense of failure and humiliation.

Since no one really answered, it was largely due to East Germany paying large war reparations to the USSR (West Germany didn't pay as much), and West Germany also got dat Marshall Program money.

Please stop trying to pretend that Nazism is just another socialist tendency and that you fit in here.

It's bad enough that we have to put up with fucking NazBols without you shitting things up.

At least it's not a fucking kekistan shirt or whatever. Kid's kinda got swag I gotta admit.

Indeed

Just a thing called Communism. It brings everyone down to the lower-middle class without anyone chance of being more because they don't want anyone else being in the elite.

Just enough money and food for the common people to survive while living like kings at the top of the Social Ladder of Communism.

Found the illiterate socdem, ANTIFA-wannabe

What's it like to be so assmad you reply a day later and drop the flag?

Stay mad bitch.

But I'm not mad.
And I didn't know I forgot my flag was off.
