Why the fuck would you defect to a tiny enclave in the middle of your territory, makes no sense

It wasn't

>US money
As if USSR hadn't been giving money and stuff to all of its satellites. North Korea got tons of gibs for example, so did Cuba.

did you think that berlin was walled off but the rest of east germany could just walk into west germany

No it wasn't

>but the rest of east germany could just walk into west germany
Who told you that?

I don't think anything I just wanted a source I'm not arguing

Iirc NK had a lot of material and food but not a shit ton of proper cash to spend however they want
The Marshall plan was like that. Give them money so they’ll buy US products
Also when they’ve got money, the dough would be transfert to the office of public work and yada yada yada
It wasn’t a competition between contractors to produce the best shit for the public money

This was nice
>2 german families make a balloon to defect to western germany
real story
Disney also made a movie about it in the 80s with John Hurt.

East Germany was a utopia. Yes you had to listen to the rules, you couldn't be a complete degenerate like in West Germany you had to behave. But if you did behave, East Germany was truly a paradise. Many Germans miss it.

>commie cope
lol

they're both shitholes so what's your point?

Under communism there's no reward for working hard and coming up with good ideas. Make anything profitable, the government simply steals it. So most people don't bother and just try to survive.

>they're

What do you mean?

>GRP
oh yes lets compare communist and capitalist countries with a capitalist standard, see who does better

Weird how the soviet union made so many discoveries and tech breakthroughs huh

>As if USSR hadn't been giving money and stuff to all of its satellites.
Nope. They didn't.

The only areas that former DDR territories do better in are being more aware of how much communism sucks and being more racially conscious.

Not to mention a lot of great movies and tv series that weren't cheap cash-grabs full of degeneracy

lotta tankie cope on this thread, are we being raided by /leftypol/ again?

>soviet union made so many discoveries and tech breakthroughs
Lol. Name one new consumer product that came from USSR in the 20th century.

Pic related.

Everyone over 18 had an ID card you had to carry with you at all times.

>this jewish award ceremony awards jews
>this is my proof :^)

Unironically true. Even though I've met a lot of people from the former GDR, the only ones who ever decried how horrible it was there were people who didn't actually live there. The ones who did were generally like
>it was ok lol

Name one new consumer product that came from USSR (or any other communist country) in the 20th century. There was a lot of stuff invented in the 20th century, so it shouldn't be a problem for you.

Not only was West Berlin effectively 'part' of West Germany, people who lived there were exempt from the military draft, which is why it attracted so many arty and pacifist types.

>CONSOOM

The USSR literally exported millions of tons of grain to the Eastern European socialist countries in 1946-47 despite the famine at home. Holy shit, read a book before going to the internet spouting nonsense.

Berlin was a mistake that needs to be wiped out

Lol They literally demanded everything as "reparations".

Funeral in Berlin (1966) was pretty good.

Retard, Cuba alone received around $40 bln in today's money, and it's only cash. Do you zoomers know how to use Internet at all?

Yeah, great consumer product. I guess you won the argument.

I see that apparently the RBMK Reactor is missing

i see lefty/pol/ raiding has started

Soviet Union invented the Heart-Lungs-Machine. Oh, right, not a consumer product. iphone is much more useful.

Wtf they spelled baloon wrong. How do you fuck up that bad?

And yet it's kino. Says so on the poster.

>$40 bln in today's money,
That's literally nothing for a country.

But jews love communism, it's their invention. Wouldn't they want to portray the USSR as a successful project?

>you will never have a portion of your country for commies to fuck off to

It was a mistake bros

>Oh, right, not a consumer product.
Yeah, so why did you mention it, retardo? Oh I know why, because communists haven't invented shit for their people. Their technological advancement was sporadic and massively based on espionage. 90% of their military tech and electronics was blatantly stolen, there are entire books dedicated to it.
Cuba is not a big country. That was like 2 of their annual GDP back then.

Genuine retardation.

>While the cause of the famine is generally attributed to the drought in combination with the existing infrastructural and economic damage of the war, some historians have criticized the government's response as being not as effective as it could have been.[1] For example, during the crisis, the USSR continued with export obligations under the fourth five-year plan,[1] with the majority of it going to the Soviet zone of occupied Germany, Poland, Hungary, and Czechoslovakia to consolidate the new Eastern Bloc.[4]

>Literally sayimg "I'm Kino"

>ooga booga consuming is bad
*sent from a consumer laptop*

In fact literally ALL the cars they produced were either copied or licensed from the western countries. The same goes for pretty much every consumer product made in USSR.

Bro the entire eastern bloc was literally propped up by the USSR to the point that it collapsed after Gorbachev told them to fuck off and fend for themselves
