You have to design your avatar and then it tells you off for not being socialist enough. It then depicts you as a factory worker (albeit a smiling one) implying that you can’t have any free will or personal tastes

Socialism when no casual clothes, magazines, or beer apparently.

      The ostalgie shops are usually better staffed with more „authentic“ gdr stuff. To be fair it pales to the actual „remembrance“ of the former Soviet bloc - Like when I was in Belarus during the last WW2 anniversary and there was like a giant golden lenin statue to buy.
