did you forget your shitposting flag?
you kinda made the choice obvious yourself, i consider Ulbricht one of the greatest socialist leaders in general
Oliver Perez
were you the person who posted something like this on /marx/?
anyway i'd marry Honecker, fuck Ulbricht, and kill Krenz because he creeps me out
Chase Bell
Why has Honecker become such a meme?
Leo Nguyen
Because to Right-Wingers he Became Le Big Brother 1984 meme and he was later turned into a Minor meme by the M-L / Marxist left
Connor Powell
Ulbricht was honestly the best thing to happen to any M-L state
Ryan Lee
Were can I get more info on him? Maybe some work by him?
Something as good as Honecker jail writings after the fall of the wall, or other works by him (wich sadly are really underlooked by Communist
Or maybe a good explanation on his policies on the DDR, as well as his idea of socialist construction
Luis Carter
Does anyone have the GDR vs BRD economic comparason, especially with wage growth?
Daniel Bailey
You forgot
Samuel Phillips
He was a really shitty speaker though
Bentley Watson
That was a strangely consistent problem of East Germany's Heads of State.
Dominic Rivera
that title belongs to Stalin

Sadly Ulbricht wrote almost nothing, except for a few letters to Chrustchow about the economy in the early 1961

(I could only find it in german)
One of his main projects, the NÖS, later on became a cybersyn lite, with focus on automation, increased workers controll, early computerization and success boni. But as in the USSR, the project was largely stopped by bureaucracy and conservatives.

That's a fucking meme that won't happen.

I can't find the per capita data, although the GDP data shows that in terms of growth the DDR grew at a slightly faster rate to the west based on its gdp in 1950. So much for a command economy keepingnit back.
Carter Young
I played a lot of ostalgie which made me like Honecker. Admittedly, I do not like his scrapping of the automation program but I don't see anything wrong with consumer communism. In regards to the reunification issue, I see it as him bowing down to Moscow and following realpolitik which shouldn't be condemned. I think that if Krenz would stay, he would try market "socialist" reforms probably, so execute him. I do not know much about Ulbricht except that he was a staunch M-L which makes him good in my books and my only knowlege of Pieck comes from Hoi4.
I would marry Honecker, fuck Ulbricht and kill the traitor Krenz.
Luis Rogers
Wrong Honecker speeches are pretty good, I'll post some later
Carter Butler
Can someone make the calculum of in wich year would the DDR have catched the BDR?
Nathan Williams
Could you explain how Ulbrich had a complex with being called a Nazi?
I don't know that much about him
Colton Perez
His speeches in terms of text, yes, his delivery not so much.
Austin Bailey
Consumer communism is bad when you bankrupt your country and take loans from the fucking IMF to try and stay at the same level of consumerism as the West. Of course this problem wasn't limited to the GDR, all the Eastern Bloc + Yugoslavia had debt problems of one sort or another.
Charles Nelson
Well, they were kinda forced to by the cobstant propaganda from the west comparing life in DDR to BRD abd taking skilled workers over the border. If Honecker didn't match the consumerism of the west, the brain drain would be amplified. Not saying that he did nothing wrong, bu there is a reason he did what he did.
