This is dumb cap fucks talk.
Before 89 -> East German people are not rich, but at least they have a functioning warefare state.
After 89-> They are still not rich, and no more social protection, only pure exploitation.

How many times we have to emphasize that, Eastern Europe People suffered a GAINT bait and switch?
When they hear freedom, they thought it was political freedom, but what they actually got was a "free market", freedom to be exploited?

I'm sorry to tell you, this is a carry-on effect and historical benefits of the old Commie era social investment. After Polish neo-liberalism take over is completed, Poland will be degraded to a gaint foxconn plant, all the Universities will be either left out rotten, or converted into "elites" University, of which costs everyone mountains of loan debts just like US.

What you liberals fail to understand is the devastating effect privitization had on the national industries of socialist states. Now, Eastern Europe is essentially a mass colony of Western Europe thanks to the abandonment of socialism, mass privitization, and World Bank + IMF rape.
