In Berlin, which was still undivided, the SPD had resisted the party merger and, running on its own, had polled 48.7 percent of the vote, thus scoring a major electoral victory and decisively defeating the SED, which, with 19.8 percent, was third in the voting behind the SPD and the CDU.

 Is xenophobia a legacy of Stalinist-ruled East Germany?
The “National Committee for Free Germany”, created in 1943 under the leadership of Walter Ulbricht, which was responsible for Soviet propaganda in Germany, did not appeal to the internationalism of the workers' movement, but, as the name implies, to German nationalism.
Official “internationalism” was limited to staged rituals, with whose assistance support was mobilized for the state's foreign policy, while “journeys and actual contact with foreign countries and their culture remained the privilege of a small elite of party faithful”.
As a member of the Ulbricht group, Leonhard was directly involved in the dissolution of the workers' committees.

Many of the East Zone writers who present Ulbricht’s "national literature" today were once good writers — free writers whose doctrine was: humanity against inhumanity.
Abs, having rejected the political doctrines of the East, is unable to accept those of the West and perishes, presumably from lack of alternatives.
Johnson seems to be the first German writer expressing deep concern with the consequences of the partition of Germany and with the deeper conflict between East and West.

 The Janus Face of Anthroposophy
The root race doctrine is the foundation upon which the entire edifice of anthroposophy is built, and latter-day anthroposophists have so far refused to confront it honestly.
Waage's apologetics perfectly embody the uncritical, unreflective and ahistorical approach to Steiner's doctrines that we have unfortunately come to expect from anthroposophists and their defenders.
This fact does not necessarily mean that all varieties of anthroposophy must be racist; instead it means that contemporary anthroposophists need to come to terms with the unpleasant side of the Janus face if they want to avoid adopting racist assumptions into their belief system.

Bush's words are eerily reminiscent, Wolfe claims, of Theodore Roosevelt's first corollary to the Monroe Doctrine, which proclaimed that America had the right to take over and reform any nation in the Western Hemisphere that was guilty of "chronic wrongdoing"-- the pretext for later U.S. military interventions throughout Latin America and the Caribbean.
