When the wall fell, former Chancellor of Germany and former Mayor of West Berlin Willy Brandt came to Berlin to see how the wall fell. I remember how he was so emotional and actually shedded a few tears and his voice sounded so weak. Man, I wonder what must‘ve happened inside of him. He was one of the leading figures of German resistance against the Nazis, he was the mayor of West Berlin and had to witness how his country and his city got split in two and finally after 40 years reunited. He was a true Berliner at heart (even though he was from Lübeck) and passionate about his country and people! A true Social Democrat! Wir lieben dich Willy. Ruhe in Frieden, Genosse...

[@thatoneguy3058]

A lot of leftist organisations at the time said that it was sad that the wall came down. They said it was the end of a possible socialist utopia. I can tell you it was a good thing the wall came down and I am a socialist. The regimes that fell were not socialist, they were state capitalist and authoritarian. Thats not what socialism is about and I think it's sad that people say socialism ended in 1990, when really it ended when Lenin died and Stalin took over and rolled everything back. The governments of eastern europe were all Stalinist, when the workers spoke up about issues they were brutally suppressed, when strikes took place they were brutally crushed. The works of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels have no correlation with the eastern block and to anyone who has read this far, please don't associate their works with that time period. Read them yourself and see what I mean.

[@U_Go_Boom]

@@micahistory No, it was socialism, which is meant to build up to communism. Communism is defined as a money-less, stateless, classless society where the means of production are collectively owned. Communism follows Marx's rule of "from each according to their ability, to each according to their needs." Socialism is a system where the means of production are collectively owned, and it follows the rule of, "from each according to their ability, to each according to their work." Socialism's goal is to eliminate class struggle so that people can become truly equal. Once this is done, society can transition into communism. You should read some Marxist literature, it is quite fascinating.

Its amazing to see that 30 years have passed since the fall of the Berlin Wall, for 28 years it stood as a obstacle for freedom, families were divided, and people suffered. Now 30 years later it is but a remnant of the past and a sign: that freedom will prevail, democracy will prevail it will just take time. This why history is important. It teaches us about our mistakes so that we can learn from them so that we may never repeat those actions ever again.

Such an important anniversary in European history, wonder what will happen on 3rd October 2020, the 30th anniversary of the reunification of the whole of Germany. Whatever happens, I hope that it makes clear that while people in general were happy to be one country again, it was in reality, more of an absorption of the GDR by the FRG, rather than the two merging as equals. At the time of reunification, East Germany was having to suddenly compete against an already robust West German economy. With the combination of the removal of State Control over jobs and monetary union in July 1990, by the time of the reunification, more than 1.5 million people from eastern Germany were unemployed with thousands more losing their jobs and thousands of companies formerly run by the state were either having to be closed or privatised. One film that documents this period in history that I'd recommend is "Goodbye Lenin," which stars Daniel Brühl, star of RUSH (amongst other films). Don't be put off by the fact that it is in German with English subtitles, it's a superb film filled with humour and sadness. I won't give any dialogue away as it'll prevent you from searching for it ;)
