I remember reading in MSM a year or two after the wall fell that people were complaining that at least in the GDR, they had food and work. I don’t remember much more than that.
I remember not being allowed to say anything good about the GDR. It was often met with some “Yes, but [insert bad thing about the good thing]”. It’s a mantra.
That’s sad. And probably still largely true in the West.
