    Liberal education blames communism for not “educating” East Germans in the practices of democracy and insinuates they instinctively seek out strongman populist leaders because its familiar to them. Nowadays a pinch of orientalism is added and states that since unlike the West where “Americans taught Germans Democracy” the East under evvul ruzzians never managed to ingratiate “democratic values” in their society.

    Negative aspects were basically not enough treats. Thats what everyone mentioned. Or like Sparkasse employees (german bank) not getting enough respect lol

    It was the upper section of the Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs pyramid that the GDR failed at.
