The DDR in the 70s and 80s - a time and place where values that now feel lost were still practiced. Everyday life on the streets reflected a society that prioritized social justice and community over the endless pursuit of profit. In the DDR, there was a sense of security - everyone had the right to work, and no one feared being homeless. Education and healthcare were not privileges but rights accessible to all. Crime was low, and the streets were free of scams and desperation. There were no homeless people or drug addicts as we see in many capitalist cities today. Instead, there was room for genuine culture and community, without the intrusion of advertisements or relentless commercial pressure. Even without the luxury and consumerism prized in the West, the DDR offered something unique: a world where people’s worth wasn’t measured by their wallets but by their contributions to the collective good. For many, it was a life of structure, stability, and a sense of belonging - lessons we could learn from today.
You have sign it from the reality of communist party " program " of SED in this time? This it's not the meaning from the most of citizens of former east German people.
The GDR also had many foreign residents, including people from Vietnam, Laos, Angola, Ethiopia, Mozambique, and Cuba. A significant effort was made to ensure they felt welcome, with guaranteed access to work or education. This is something today’s Western capitalist societies could learn a lot from.
Gorbachev was in East Berlin because the 40th anniversary of the existence of East Germany was celebrated. Many leaders of the Warsaw pact were invited to that parade.

Freedom is something we never used to take for granted, how far the world has come
Communism, Authoritarianism, Fascism, never again
This is nice! The quality, the unedited parts. The recording from the car! The trains into the station and the actions of the West-Germans.
Thx!
Absolutely priceless footage. A moment in time captured, another world which no longer exists.

Danke liebe DDR das wir eine sorgenfreie Kindheit erleben durften mit geschützten Grenzen
Gern geschehen. Gruß, DDR.

In welcher Realität haben Sie damals gelebt?
Lost World.
Ronald Reagan “tear down this wall Mr. Gorbachev!!!” ❤
🤡
Who was Ronald Reagan?
Walter Ulbricht built that wall, not Gorbachev.
Gorbachev was in East Berlin because the 40th anniversary of the existence of East Germany was celebrated. Many leaders of the Warsaw pact were invited to that parade.
Communism: Never Again!
лучше, чем наркотики, бездомность, мусор, который вы видите в современных США
Shabby, grey, kind of aimless. Communism was no more able to change human nature than was Christianity,
Yes but now the globalists are quickly forcing all western nations to go brown and black.
