It focuses on the East Germans‘ enthusiastic support for re-unification and the transfer of West Germany‘s political and economic institutions to the East, ignoring those in the German Democratic Republic who wanted to ‘reform‘ socialism within, not destroy it. Their aim was to preserve an independent German Democratic Republic that would pursue an alternative ‘third way‘ between Western capitalism and Stalinist repression. Their vision was a ‘better, more beautiful‘ socialism instead of the ‘push and shove society‘ that they associated with Western capitalism. In their view the ‘better, more beautiful‘ socialism would combine the Western ideals of individual freedom with Marxist concept of collective decision-making and shared wealth. The reformers failed, of course, but their ideas and activities in the fall of 1989 are an essential part of the story that led to present-day Germany. | | 出版日期 | Book 2015 | | 关键词 | German Democratic Republic; Communism; Eastern Europe; Germany; communism; Europe | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-137-57416-9 | | isbn_ebook | 978-1-137-57416-9 | | copyright | Palgrave Macmillan, a division of Macmillan Publishers Limited 2015 |
