1958 film from former East Germany is a mix of propaganda and advertising: the first half film praises the general progress achieved during 1958, the second half advertises the choice of Christmas gifts available at state-owned Konsum stores. The latter part is rather ironic considering supply shortages existed around Christmas for handkerchiefs, mens socks, towels, underwear, linens, outer clothing, dishes, high-quality industrial products, gingerbread, chocolate Santa Clauses, and even candles.

  • @lmommsen i would rather have poor quality food than die due to lack of healthcare. capitalist pig

  • @Adonnus100

    Coherently, who support the capitalism should not call a public ambulance to be transported to a decent public hospital if he had a stroke or an heart infarction.....

  • @elsquibbs You have a picture of ale as your icon. That, is sad.

  • @Adonnus100

    Terrific argument. That's some real critical thinking. What a fucking genius you are.

  • @elsquibbs I guess I'd take your opinion into judgement, but seeing as you come from the United States I'm not even going to waste my time talking to a brainless fuckwit such as yourself.

  • @Adonnus100

    I guess I'd ask you what the fuck you're brainwashed by?

  • @T4mp10 We've never been invaded because we're not bloody warmongers like the USA. And many people in America are obese and die because they know no other way of living. They are brainwashed by capitalist fast food companies.

  • @Adonnus100 Besides, you don't have to visit the doctor as often if you eat healthy and good food.

    So I'd rather have better food, than going to the doctor every once in a while.

  • @Adonnus100

    You are still lacking good argument.

    We got invaded, but we remained independent, unlike many other countries. Can you say the same?

    Where are you from anyway, if I may ask?

  • @T4mp10 u mad you got invaded by ussr?

  • @Adonnus100

    I have no idea where and what time you live in, but many countries have VERY good healthcare.

    I can say that proudly of my homecountry, Finland.

    That is just poor to bring in the ''Capitalist pig'' shit to others and it means you are lacking proper argument.

  • Wow, cool.
