Party Congress of the Socialist Unity Party of Germany The second issue of the Xth Party Congress of the Socialist Unity Party of Germany (April 11-16, 1981) focuses on the deep political, economic, social and political life mentions spiritual and cultural changes that take place and take place under the leadership of the SED on the soil of the GDR. Especially the seventies were in the process of realization of the main task in their unity of economic and social policy to the most successful years of our previous development. At the same time, new internal and external conditions have emerged, which are, on the one hand, the result of the increased radiation of the main task, but which, on the other hand, considerably complicate their further realization in comparison to the beginning of the seventies. For this reason, the Xth SED Congress will above all ask how the power of the whole people can secure what has been achieved and thus create the conditions for the further gradual increase in the material and intellectual and cultural living standards of the working people. The issue, whose design templates were paintings by important visual artists of the GDR, goes into this complicated dialectic. The block worth 1 Mark shows Walter Womacka's "When Communists Dream". The young worker deliberately stands in the tradition of the revolutionary changes hitherto, and out of this consciousness he goes to the clear shaping of the future. In his own way, the artist wants to contribute to the realization that our party in the GDR continues to shape the developed socialist society and thus creates the basis for the gradual transition to communism. This is why the daily work of the millions of working people is at the center of the picture, whose conscious actions will point the way to the SED's X. Party Congress in the new development stage at the beginning of the 1980s.
