matrixmannEin netter Aspekt über die "Wiedervereinigung", den man wissen sollte: Abschlüsse, die nicht anerkannt werden, Geburtsurkunden, die nicht anerkannt werden - nur, weil dort ein Stempel mit Hammer, Zirkel und Ährenkranz drauf ist. Als hätten es sich die Leute aussuchen können, in welchem von beiden Staaten sie geboren werden.
Da weiß man schon gleich, dass man nur annektiert wurde.
A nice aspect about the German reunification that everyone should know: Graduations and degrees that don't get acknowledged, birth certificates that don't get acknowledged - only because there's a stamp depicturing hammer, dividers and garland of corn* on it. (*Note: It seems like there's no proper translation for "Hammer, Zirkel und Ährenkranz", so I took it word by word. As such it means the symbol in the flag of the GDR that distinguished the black, yellow and red German flag of that German state from the flag of West Germany, which can be found in the same colors, but blank in that middle space or with the black federal eagle instead.)
As if the people could have chosen which one of both states they were born in.
Such aspects let you know right away that haven't been reunified, but you have been annexed.

Keeps them in a low position that they can't move much.
But, this can't be done by everybody as the highest statesman.
You'll need somebody who's as liked among the normal people, so that they, should the capitalists smell the rat and try to prevent it through a coup or assassination, come to the guarded communities and kill the bourgeoisie.
Say, the establishment wants to get rid of the statesman in the highest command which wants to touch their property, but it won't use them anything as when he's dead they unleash a mass mob onto themselves that they will never survive. That for, they need to let this highest statesman do what he wants to do and the only thing except for adaption they may be able to do is flee, getting abroad.
When America's influence and power is gone, they have a place to flee, but no real power to strengthen them to initiate a coup from abroad. - Which had been the case always before and wasn't taken into account.
Putin had that kind abilities to fit into that position; question only is if he will be wanting to or if not his age is going to get in between.

And I will add you to my friends list, if you don't mind?

Date: 28 July 2016 07:27 pm (UTC)Say, if I released a book and sold a million copies, it would also hand a bigger amount of money over to me. But, only from that, I wouldn't get upon the idea to buy golden water faucets.
Maybe I'd afford me some practical "luxury" which I couldn't do now, but I'd still be measuring prices in the shop like I'm used to. "3 Euros for that tiny bit? No, you're kidding. I'm not gonna pay this..."
It would simply be a practical help to me in life, otherwise - what in the world should I buy for all that money? It's all too much useless stuff that makes only a burden to you.
I'm getting the notifications when somebody mentions my username in a post, so I have track of this. (Makes you want to blush a little bit as sometimes it doesn't appear to me like I do much of significance.)
You can add me if you want, if you think it suits. Am I obligated to add back? (Only ask because some people only do this in mututal manner.)

Ok, thanks I will add you to a friends list because this way I will be notified when you have new posts. And sure I would appreciate if you added mine.

Date: 28 July 2016 08:10 pm (UTC)But people there are wondering if the next revolution will happen in Germany?

Date: 28 July 2016 08:29 pm (UTC)Well - how did my history teacher once put it very apt? "If revolution was a ticket for a train ride, the Germans would be the first to buy one."
Really, it is so.
Revolution happens last over here. Sad as it is.
I've also already written a few texts that have to do with the base of that, why that is so, a while ago, but I think most or all of them were done in German. And you know - in German, nobody listens to me and I'm supposedly a nazi...
