Because of the propaganda of the Western media and the dominance of American values, the unification of Germany is now generally believed to be West Germany, which saved East Germany and freed East Germans from the backward, poor, and retrogressive Soviet system . So it is natural to think that the Germans hate East Germany very much. But this is not the case. The people of the country even miss East Germany very much. Why is this? You may not think of it.
Recently, the German media has promoted an increasingly strong phenomenon, that is, many Germans miss East Germany. Especially in the East German region, the East Germany is basically missed, so that the original East German ruling party has become more and more influential in German society. Moreover, East Germans missed the East German period in many ways, which also aroused some resonance among West Germans.
Especially the more than 1 million people who fled from West Germany to East Germany, and they actually miss East Germany very much. And in many states of East Germany, this trend is still strengthening. There are more and more people who miss East Germany and like East Germany. For this reason, many people don't understand, why is it so? Isn't East Germany bad? Why do so many Germans miss East Germany? In fact, you may not think of it.
First, The truth about the Berlin Wall .
Nowadays, many Western public opinions at the time keep writing about the East Germans fleeing to West Germany for democracy and freedom, which means the pursuit of light. But in fact, on the one hand, the people who fled from East Germany to West Germany were basically intellectuals and high-tech personnel. The reason they fled from East Germany was because the gap between the rich and the poor in East Germany was too small, and they could not make more money.
On the other hand, a truth that Western public opinion deliberately conceals is that there are more people fleeing to East Germany from West Germany. According to German information, more than 1 million West Germans fled to East Germany after World War II. Therefore, the truth about the Berlin Wall is not about East Germany, but about West Germany.
second,The standard of living in East Germany.
East Germany was the best-developed country in the Soviet system. People in East Germany were basically unemployed, and social welfare was extremely good. Free medical care, education, housing and so on. At that time, East Germany had a higher level of consumption in home appliances, automobiles, and luxury goods than West Germany. Therefore, people now miss the core of East Germany because life in East Germany was better, and everyone was happier. There is a lot of pressure and there is not much dissatisfaction. This is fundamental.
Third, the current dissatisfaction.
After the reunification of Germany, the development was slow. During the reunification process, the wealth of the East Germans was harvested. And Germany is now facing a higher unemployment rate, and the unemployment rate among young people is even higher. Moreover, the society is divided, the estrangement is greater, and the contradictions are prominent. Coupled with refugee issues, internal struggle issues, and living standards issues, the people are generally dissatisfied.
Therefore, the real gap is attributed to dissatisfaction with the system, and I miss the freedom and ease of the East German period. So looking at it now, more and more Germans will miss East Germany. What do readers think about this? Welcome to leave a message and discuss with the editor!
