Der DGB war einzig an den Immobilien der ehemaligen DDR Gewerkschaft interessiert. Ostdeutsche Kollegen, die sich wirkliche Gedanken ueber eine Alternative zum verkrusteten DGB machten, wurden gnadenlos an den Rand gedraengt.
In ostdeutschen linken Kreisen, die in den Betrieben aktiv waren, hatte man keinerlei Illussionen in die neue Bluehende Zukunft. Man war sich sehr wohl darueber im Klaren, dass nur mittels hartem Kampf vor allem die konkurrenzfaehigen Arbeitsplaetze zu verteitigen waeren. Aber weder der DGB noch die sogenannten linken Parteien unterstuetzen dies. Ausser einigen voellig unbedeutenden Splittergruppen.
Letztlich gab es auch im Gewerkschaftsbereich keine unabhaengige Vereinigung, sondern schlicht eine Vereinnahmung der Aktivisten im Osten durch den DGB.
Wenn du willst kann ich spaeter mehr und detaillierter darueber schreiben.
Aeh... wer bist du...

the socialism is just a transforming society between the capitalism and the communism (according to M/L..). in all the former countries of the so-called "real existing socialism" (they really, for example in the GDR, called it like that...) the "dictorship of the proletarians" was just a dictatorship of the ruling ("communist/socialist") parties. the workers had no rights.. but it was socialism. neither "bureaucratic workers' state" (the trotskyists were calling it..), nor new capitalist states (according to the maoists).
perhaps this kind of "socialism" was created just on the wrong places, at the wrong time?? because according to marx the socialism is the society what will follow the developed capitalism... but neither russia, nor china, vietnam or cuba were developed capitalist societies...
well it's a long difficult story... but in my opinion, nowadays, especially in the now developed capitalist countries, we might able to avoid the socialism... (because it is just a crutch, according to stalin^^)
i know, that is not a real answer... not at all...
actually since several years we, communists in many countries, are discussing about this issue...
....
perhaps soon i will write more about it (it's also difficult for me, because english is not my native...)
