In memory of the destroyed project of socialism in Germany, what better way to spend October 3rd (Germany’s so-called German Reunification Day) than to discuss the successes, mistakes, and lessons of the DDR.

Putting such a positive light on this topic is still beyond taboo in mainstream circles, and anti-communist mythology runs deep in Germany even today. One way we can make revolutionary inroads in any capitalist nation is to educate the working people about the successes of their socialist peers and all the tried and tested ways we can work towards making life more meaningful for all of us.
