don’t pretend that the fall of the berlin wall wasn’t celebrated on both sides of the wall
The fall of the Berlin Wall and the replacement of a socialist government with a capitalist one are different events.
My point being primarily that support or opposition to state socialism in formerly (or presently) communist countries is not universal and not of a single character. Just like everyone who was cheering for the Berlin Wall to come down was not cheering for corporate domination or microplastics in their blood, not everyone who wants a return to state socialism is cheering for the Stasi or the NKVD to come back.
