I've been in Berlin the last few days, it's been really interesting.

There's the expected anti-communism literally everywhere (honestly even more than I expected). But there's also some gems to be found, and I didn't even make it to any of the Soviet or DDR memorials or locations. What gets me the most is the appropriation of communist landmarks and memorials for capitalist/fascist purposes.

I did find a really cool picture folder of the rebuilding of East Berlin at a flea market, as well as a book of speeches from a 1983 SED conference which I'll share here when I have a chance. There's also a few museum exhibitions now talking about German colonialism which positively surprised me.

Berlin is a fun albeit very liberal minded city. Which is sad given its history.

If you ever get the chance, visit Copenhagen, which I expected to be very liberal only to be bombardeert with communist symbols everywhere.

WTF. I guess I haven't been in Copenhagen enough.

Berlin is like the center of performance lib politics, wannabe artsy failsons and is gentrified to absolutely cater to rich tiktok influencer anglophones, Its like a world of its own.
