The German Road — the GDR claiming socialism as the fulfillment of German history. Haz's favorite proof of concept for socialist patriotism.

From the streams

  • Heritage politics (RED PILL NEWS | PALESTINE WAR stream): "Socialist patriotism in Germany — the DDR, the GDR, the German Democratic Republic, that was socialist Germany... In the GDR a profound weight and emphasis was given to the Reformation: Thomas Müntzer and Florian Geyer, and Martin Luther for that matter. They were all commemorated. Even when a figure wasn't totally historically progressive, they could still distill certain historically necessary and progressive aspects."
  • Inheriting bourgeois revolutions (THERE ARE ONLY 2 NOT 3 stream): "The flag of the German Democratic Republic — the tricolor — was based on the bourgeois revolution of 1848, just like the rest of the people's democracies in Europe... Marx and Engels considered the bourgeois revolutions historically progressive. Shut your dumbass up about this idea that communists do not inherit the legacies of the bourgeois revolution — because they do."

The American translation

The GDR precedent licenses the whole Americanist move: a socialist state claiming 1776 and Lincoln is not revisionist but standard practice. And the defense of actually-existing socialism: "East Germany — that was a fine country, actually. A great country. People in East Germany today remember the days of the GDR quite fondly" (IRAN PRESIDENT DEAD? stream) — where was the famine in the GDR?
