Why did the east Germany do worse than the west economically? I've heard that factories in east Germany were destroyed after the cold war for some reason. Is there any truth to this?

Yeah, they basically packed up east german industry after reunification because it got incorporated into the imperial core which has no need for extensive domestic manufacturing capacity. East germany before didn't have access to the cheap labor of third world countries while the west did.
Gavin Jones
What you mean by "do worse"?
East Germany had a higher economic growth than West Germany. I have reliable sources in case anyone asks.
Kevin Cook
Let's rephrase: Did east Germany do worse than the west economically?
No.

freemasons?
Brody Scott
yes, afterall no one else has ever used a compass.
Thomas James
Can I have the sources?
Julian Morales
Why would a compass be associated with a worker's state? I get the hammer in the middle, but the iconography of the compass with the meeting of a complimentary object at the bottom shares great resemblance to the freemason compass and ruler. I know freemasons were persecuted under Hitler, so was this a type of revenge?

This is where the thread should have ended. It's an apples and oranges comparison.
Noah Adams
how do you judge the economic quality of a country? I thought economics was a fake science or whatever?
