Abstract

To the question “What happened with the fall of the Berlin Wall and the fall of Communism?” this article does not provide the reader with original answers. After analyzing how they can be considered as historical events and why the explanations given have not taken seriously that these decisions were taken from within the system, without external or internal pressure, I set out the interpretation given by Boris Groys in his book The Communist Post Scriptum: the fall would have been only a decision to move to capitalism, which continues communism. I then propose a brief discussion of the theses of the book which seems irrefutable for the same reasons as is irrefutable dialectical materialism as an achievement of total language and its paradoxes.
