In East Berlin, tribal communism has yielded to capitalism. In Marx-Engelsplatz, the stolid, overbearing statues of Marx and [Friedrich] Engels face east, as if seeking distant solace from Moscow: but now, circling them along the streets that surround the park that is their prison are chain eateries like T.G.I. Friday’s, international hotels like the Radisson, and a circle of neon billboards mocking them with brand names like Panasonic, Coke, and GoldStar.
Explanation: After the fall of the Soviet Union the Western world came in and westernized it and with the reminants of the former communist era looming nearby via the statues they are trapped by the capitalistic western ideologies.
Interpretation: In globalization we see things such as migration but this is bigger than people moving to another country this is a whole area being changed to assimilate western ideologies so all these capitalistic companies had migrated into new lands and overtook them from the former owners as we see when they compare the park home to statues of communist leaders to a prison
