I found an original GDR Pin. At the bottom there is a protractor with two wheat thingies.

On the back is written:

SOZIALISTISCH ARBEITEN LERNEN UND LEBEN

which translates to:

learn and live to work socialist

I think its very pretty even though.

the back of an original GDR pin saying "sozialistisch arbeiteten lernen und leben"

    A comrade gave me that one, but I found other pins before at a flea market. Another big help is to get organized.

      I’m relatively recent in Germany, my German honestly sucks at the moment, but in a couple of years im hoping to study in Germany at university, so that’ll be a great time to do so. Problem is I’m in the West.

          I mean, ive talked to my local SDAJ chapter, I’m reading DKP lit ever so often, it’s just that my situation is um- unconventional. If matrix is the equivalent of dming me here, then yeah, could you do that? I don’t have matrix though.
