(en) Germany, German Unity Day - No reason to celebrate for us! (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

Date Tue, 18 Nov 2025 07:39:46 +0200


This is the motto of our VAPCA on October 14, 2025. In addition to engaging in a substantive discussion, we'll be indulging in the traditional Eastern cult starting at 7:00 PM with (vegan) JägerSCHNITZEL (hunter's schnitzel) with pasta and fruity tomato sauce. The film screening starts at 8:00 PM. ---- On October 3, 1990, the annexation of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) by West German imperialism finally took place.

What was celebrated by some as liberation meant, for others, the shattering of any hopes for a democratization of socialism.

This had countless consequences, such as the resurgence of nationalism, the glorification of the GDR as the socialist counterpart to Nazi Germany, and the resulting consolidation of neoliberal, bourgeois-reactionary ideologies. We will use a film to examine the privatization of state-owned enterprises by the Treuhandgesellschaft (Treuhand Company), the financial hemorrhaging of the "new federal states," and the economic, structural, and social differences between East and West that persist to this day.

Of course, this doesn't imply that there could be a "fairer" form of privatization, but examining it helps us understand why things are the way they are and why the border between the GDR and the FRG persists to this day.

At the end of the day, the GDR didn't mean the emancipation of people, but rather authoritarian state capitalism with a red coating.
Therefore, it remains the case: If socialism, then only without states!
