Cool fact after Stalin it was easier to get a firearm for hunting than it is to get a gun in modern day Britain. Pretty much just had to join the Soviet hunting club.
Camden Williams
Yeah that's why I had to give the option of not having the massive spy state.
Then again it's not like we're being watched right now.
David Brooks
Another cool fact:
Every year workers got a bonus known as 13th month pay.
Juan Turner
DDR was by far the most successful socialist country and if we had ruled the warsaw pact instead of the dumb russians it would be still alive today.... You may not be rich but at least you have everything you need and it still worked
Aiden Davis
I'd pick DDR but the aesthetics of their helmets is giving me second thoughts.
Hunter Long
>instead of the dumb russians
So... you are living without us, Fritz. You dont have dumb Russians on your land - now you have a lot of smart and polite turks, nogs and pakis.
Be happy, Fritz.
Jayden Harris
Living under commies wasn't that horrible actually. Sure, no going to Bahamas or whatnot and stuff was sometimes harder to come by, but life was slower in a good sense and people were not so kikesque like today.
My great aunt still has hers, and it still works just fine to this day
Angel Moore
DDR unquestionably if you're poor or lower middle class today's Goymany if you're rich and can afford to escape the local enrichment by living in a gated community

TheEast GermanM-56 helmet was originally designed in 1942 as a replacement for the M1935/M1940 model Stahlhelm. It was initially developed for the Wehrmacht by the Institute for Defense Technical Materials Science in Berlin (seeM1944above). The helmet had seen trials since 1943, but was not adopted during World War II.[27]

But he is right, and they were the most efficient steel helmets ever designed >The East German M-56 helmet was originally designed in 1942 as a replacement for the M1935/M1940 model Stahlhelm.

Thomas Collins
commie rule. at least you can recover from that. no such thing after being culturally enriched.
Robert Williams
Wrong
It wasn't battlefield tested yet.
Common fellow burger have some basic reading comprehension
Gabriel James
There's something called a truck that is very convenient
Just saying
Austin Harris
Eyyy thanks Romanian bro, how's things over there?
Luis Lewis
This is true, but I will say that back in the day, the US was only 50%white (1800s). We bounced from that. It's very difficult but doable.
Justin Lopez
>Besides living in an autistic police state
Why is this a bad thing?
Xavier Scott
Because people who don't like you can fabricate false allegations and make your life hell
Oliver Diaz
Pretty shit, virtually unrecognisable from what it used to be during commie rule
They (especially women to men) do the same thing in the west and "free" capitalist countries which arguably much worse consequences and a less fair judicial process.
Jackson Powell
I wonder if it was as difficult to get a car as compared with SU
Blake Johnson
*with
William Torres
>less fair judicial process nice joke
Cooper Miller
Under soros current regime you can leave. At least for now. Clear winner
Andrew Barnes
Yeah my in-laws were from SU and they miss it. But sovietism is way different from faggy western socialism.
How much is a decent flat over there?
Nicholas Thompson
You bounced mostly because of European immigration. I'm afraid such a rescue scenario is not feasible in this age.
Jayden Edwards
DDR, I don't give a fuck if I have to work 14 hour shifts as a peasant in the coal mines and have all my actions monitored, as long as there's no shitskins and degeneracy I'm happy to do it.
Connor Scott
No wonder they lost
Cooper Lee
Very expensive for the average romanian, around 50 000 euros
Thomas Parker
>14 HR shifts ARTICLE 119.Citizens of the U.S.S.R. have the right to rest and leisure. The right to rest and leisure is ensured bythe reduction of the working day to seven hours for the overwhelming majority of the workers, the institution of annual vacations with full pay for workers and employees and the provision of a wide network of sanatoria, rest homes and clubs for the accommodation of the working people.

Jayden Bell
It's actually a very good helmet. May look wonky but a more effective stahlhelm
Carter Nguyen
I was born in DDR. Germany today is 10 times better. 80's DDR was not bad. At least for me as a kid. But it's not nearly as good as living in modern Germany today.
Nah the price i mentioned was for new apartments since most of the old ones are full
Colton Kelly
That's a relief, so it's about the same as most Eastern countries.
Personal question, why don't you do merchant Marines or an equivalent and make good money and live like a king over there. It's what I'm doing.
Ryan Morales
>blueginia
Luke Martinez
At least under Communism people were allowed to be proud of their nation. Granted, it was pride in the "glories of socialism" rather than pride in one's culture and race, but far-Left Communism is still miles better than limp-wristed, cucked (((neoliberal bullshit)))
Ryan Thompson
Yeah well your waving the northern Virginia battleflag on your ID there homie.
Thomas Garcia
You had to look at how their constitutions were written
If for example it said "socialism with Romanian, German, russian characteristics" nationalism was a given.
Soviet Union proper was supposed to be an exporter of revolution so it was looked at as Russian not overtly nationalist.
Elijah Taylor
>Also was gun ownership the same with SU? >Was getting a car hard?
Gun "ownwership"? Owning a gun was illegal. Even thinking about it was illegal. On the other hand military service was mandatory and you would carry around a gun all day for three years of your adult life. Getting a car was expensive and you would have to wait for 18 years to get a shit DDR car. Public transport was cheap, but unreliable.
>At least under Communism people were allowed to be proud of their nation. No, you had to worship international communism and communist party and Russia.
Andrew Mitchell
True, a good example would be China: "Socialism with Chinese Characteristics" The Chinese have shown themselves capable of balancing socialism and nationalism- and they're a soon to be global superpower.
Kayden Richardson
Yeah even from people I know who were non party members that life in SU was kilometers better than East Germany. What about jobs? One thing that was praised in SU is that there was tons of jobs and having 2 or 3 jobs wasn't frowned upon.
Bentley Baker
I really doubt that. They're experimenting with a "free economy" but heavily regulated by autistic ant people. It's gonna fail hard.
Wyatt Hernandez
You guys did We had the balls to openly oppose the soviets and create what ceausescu called revolutionary patriotism
In DDR this was true, I know that this was not the case in Belarus, Yugoslavia, Poland, etc.
Then again Germany did kinda fuck up Europe a second time and almost 20%of SU output on a strained wartime economy went to rebuild east Germany (just saying)
It was after Ronald Reagans visit to Germany that the muslims started going there. Stay the fuck out of German politics NATO is sucking the life out of Europe . Russia was never the enemy. You Republicans are.
There was no unemployment. Everybody got a job, but getting good job was hard. Payment was low, but you could not buy much in official stores. You needed to have more then one job to earn enough money for private grey market deals.
Dominic Hill
Today is still vastly preferable. Back then people were selling out their neighbours in the east. Even kids sold out their parents to the stasi.
I mean, it's pretty good today, at elast right now.
Things will turn to shit 10 years from now.
2030 is when shit hits the fan and it won't be pretty. these Muslims are gonna get angry as fuck when their welfare gets cut and I don't have a gun to shoot these sandniggers. this is actually my greatest regret.
Nathaniel Turner
Yeah but a good salary over there is like 100 bucks a month, some friends of mine from Moldova come here and drive trucks a few months out of the year and live well in Moldova.
But imagine that money in Transnistria... Be a full blown Kang over there.
Blake Gonzalez
what can I say, at least its effective
isis shits their pants when they see an army of flamboyant trannies charging at them
Mason Jackson
Yeah, the police state there was a nightmare. At least in SU you had some freedom of movement and there was simply too many people to spy on everyone.
I mean the east is based today but still somewhat poor outside dresden leipzig etc
Eli Gonzalez
Honestly, the addage that there isn't a hearse with a trailer hitch is true. As long as you can leave your kids with a home and make their lives a little easier than yours it's a life well spent.
East germany and Poland were seen as exotic and exemplary socialist states in Soviet Union.
In SU everything was provided by the state regardless of quality and you could even get drunk in the workplace and they couldn't fire you, because ''there is to be work for everyone''. At worst, you were transferred somewhere else. Everyone had a job and was paid equally regardless of your talent, skill or will to work. There was little incentive to work hard or to excel. Some collective farms managed to become well-off, but those were usually composed of former „kulak” class (diligent hard workers), were ethnicly homogeneous and were located in rural areas.
Wages were ok nominally, but that didn't mean much – it had little value and you couldn’t buy much, because most of the time there was shortages of goods. You had to wait in queues for a car for 5-10 years, unless you were a party member or had good connections. And this „standard of living” was only post-Stalin era.
there are also lots of illegal guns because EU borders are open and many millions of guns have gone missing when eastern Europe broke down, but illegal gun possession is a serious crime
Wyatt Rogers
How was latvia under SU?
Jack Martin
Why again does it change t b h to desu? Pretty dumb desu
>DDR was by far the most successful socialist country Because it was on the fucking border It's very well documented how Moscow wanted to make the DDR the poster child of communism. They pumped more money into it than anywhere else. This and just Germans being Germans.
Dominic Nguyen
I pretty much described it already, but there are more details.
Vodka and petrol were very cheap. There was unofficial „blat” system which meant having right connections could get you rare goods and advance in queues. Wearing western clothing (jeans etc.) and having western goods increased you prestige, but made you a target for a potential robbery.
Education, healthcare was free, but of questionable quality. In medicine, there was constant lack of technology and tools. Only education worth its name was in hard sciences, but only because brightest minds were recruited to work for military industrial complex or space industry. Psychology, philosophy and other humanities were forbidden or strictly censored.
After WW2 there were deportations of native populations and then they were replaced by massive immigrant hordes from USSR. Mostly from Russia, then Ukraine and Belarus (soviets). These were mostly lowest class factory and farmland workers, as well as military personnel. After the mass communist purges russian genetic quality was drastically reduced, so those leftovers, so to speak, were brought to Baltics. They dominated cities, because that was where the factories were built. Most of the factory production was exported to mainland USSR and other soviet states.
Apart from that, there was heavy propaganda about ''Soviet liberators - bringers of culture and progress'', ''The great victory'' and general indebtedness of eastern european natives for ''liberation''. Russian language was mandatory in public sphere and other Baltic languages were reduced in usage also in everyday lives, because of influx of (illegal) migrants from USSR. So, the chauvinist mindset has been inherited by succeeding generations. Recent decades Russian state propaganda does its work to rile up russian-speaking populations (belorussians and most ukrainians stick together with russians and jews) against natives and keep alight the idea of superiority and anti-integration.
Evan Perry
DDR Die Partei, die Partei, die hat immer Recht!
Kevin Torres
When the native workforce will be substituted by turks and sandniggers, Germany will have DDR living standards and it will be full of niggers. So it's the same shit
Owen Watson
DDR has pow uranium miners
Brody Hall
East Germany so I can kill commies
Dylan Roberts
>East Germany under gommie rule at least I can stay here without fear being stabbed by a fachkraft >DDR was bretty bad that's a complicated statement what are your points for that ?
David Rodriguez
you could kill nigs without being punished or you were just very lightly punished how's that ?
Adam Hernandez
I'd rather kill c*mmunists
Gavin Morales
question is, who is a communist ? is someone already a communist when he was a memeber of the party, or stasi ?
Owen Sanchez
East Germany
Daniel Nguyen
you still can kill comies, but for some reason you dont. Oh wait, you are acctually a huge faggot who only uses his right to keep and bear arms to show off.
