The Austro-Prussian War was initiated by Austria, was it? That would explain why Prussia rendered the Gastein Convention null and invaded Austrian-held Holstein.Hmm, let's see. Austro-Prussian war, where the Austrians reneged on a previously made agreement and declared war. Franco-Prussian war, where, once again, the French declared war, and...what would the third one be? We Germans are not aggressors, but we will fight aggressively to defend the Fatherland.
Not to mention the fact that the French declared war on Prussia in response to increasingly hostile Prussian political intrigue, including the nomination of Prince Leopold to the Spanish throne and the malicious editing of the Bad Ems telegram.
And thus the snake reveals itself.Correct. The Iron Fist are preferable to the Syndicalists, yet the Iron Fist are hardly a good candidate to govern Germany.
That you would find militaristic Fascists preferable to a party dedicated to the true people of Germany speaks volumes.
The farmer shall be able to sustain himself and his family without the merchant undercutting him.The farmer will be cheated on his wares without a merchant's business sense.
The worker is not an invalid; he does not need a pompous petty bureacrat to instruct him.The worker will not know what to do without a manager's direction.
Yet some are more valuable than others.Every son and daughter of the Fatherland is valuable.
Without their slave workforce to order about, let us see how "valuable" the bourgeosie are.
It would seem my colleague has been in a comatose state since the 1870s.My dear sir, are you describing the French? Try reading up on Concepts of Annhilation, it will do you good. German warfare has always been based on maneuver and firepower, not manpower.
This would no doubt explain his archaic view of the world.
The Weltkrieg was not won through cavalry charges and glorious advances; it was a long, bloody period of attrition where thousands of workers died so that their capitalist masters could protect their imperial interests.
And what, pray tell, do we have now?German people. Listen to this drivel. He would turn us into nothing better then ants! Every person identical, without an independent thought or action. And I suppose that the Bolsheviks would be the queen ant?
Is the Kaiser not our queen ant, surrounded by her snivelling sycophants who pander her while the workers toil endlessly to feed her?
An ant colony is no more equal than the so-called democratic society we live in now.
We do not advocate one thought or one mind; only one people.
Germany does not exist.I should hope you realize that were it not for Bismark, Germany would not exist.
Bismarck did not unify the German states; he annexed them into his Prussian empire.
Until we are united with our Austrian brethren, there is no Gross Deutschland.
If the 'Iron Chancellor' was still alive, we would not be having this conversation, as he would have no doubt once again prohibited any ideology that challenged his empire.We wouldn't have the luxury of this conversation were it not for the Iron Chancellor, but you want to toss him under the tank.
You are aware of the literary device known as an analogy, correct?Where are you getting moldy bread from? This is gross exaggeration, no pun intended.
Wanton strawman arguments. I have argued that the present healthcare system is not sufficient.So your argument is as follows...
Syndicalist: There's no health care! We will solve that!!
German: Umm...we've had that, and more, since Bismark.
Syndicalist: There's no uber health care! We will solve that!!
That will explain why under 10% of the population controls a majority of the wealth.It's called an 'economy'. And it works alot better and fairer than the evil you're making it out to be.
Of course, the capitalist - riding on the affluence and influence of his father - will see nothing wrong with the system that loads him with wine and women while the workers exhaust themselves in hard physical labour so that they may be able to afford a loaf of bread.
Ok. So how will you manage order? Large scale industries, research, projects, chain of command. If you look at nature, herds, groups, colonies, etc, all have a hierarchy to them. That's because it's what works best for them.
The sheer fact that humans are all interconnected proves that we do not require authority figures.Humans, as social creatures, are all interconnected and require an order.
The collective shall manage society.
And who were the ones who were predominantly deposited in the trenches to be slaughtered by machine gun fire, while the upper classes downed champagne in their occupied French villas?There wasn't an 'only workers fought' war. Universal mass conscription means just that: everyone. Isn't that a term you love?
The workers.
Is it not fair to allow the soldiers to at least have some knowledge and influence in the conflicts that will inevitably involve their deaths?You declare generals incompetent, but want to put people who have never held order over another in command of divisions?
If the people are the generals, we shall no longer be faced with the Weltkrieg scenario, where Generals would freely throw legion after legion against the enemy with no aim of conserving numbers and minimising deaths.
Ah, so what happened to the "fair and equal" society you so prescribed?There is a natural order and place for people. Some people are better at some tasks than others, and it is natural that they fill those roles. These roles receive designations and benefits to provide extra motivation for people to achieve them.
What happened to humans being "interconnected" social creatures?
By your own admission, we do not live in an equal society - only a Feudalist hierarchy.
If they manage poorly, they shall not be able to sustain themselves and their families.Just try having everyone be a manager. Nothing will be accomplished. They are all of equal rank, so none can affect a course of action. There are no consequences for poor performance, as they cannot be fired from a position that doesn't exist!
They have a vested interest in ensuring that the management is effective and efficient.
