Status Updates From Kolonialisierung der DDR. K...

I think the political impotence and distinct lack of answers of the collectives and liberal-left spectrum of the newly emerging parties in the former GDR foreshadowed the death of liberal-left-ism as a whole ~20-30 years later as they were confronted with the task of reforming/reshaping a system that was already historically more progressive than they were.

Es ist wirklich faszinierend wie manche Autoren sich aus Versehen in die richtigen Kritiken an der stalinistischen Bürokratie stolpern (und gleichzeitig komplett bonkers Sachen über die Russische Revolution behaupten [bspw dass man den die Autokratie des Zarenreich einfach übernahm])
