Socialism is when capitalist powers do welfare alongside imperialism and the more they do that the more socialists they are.
Socialism is when the guy Marx hated crushes his revolution and he studies his failure for like fifty years.
Maybe they are accelerationists, thinking that Bismarck created the European alliance systems for WW1. "All of this will be ending in general bankruptcy; collapse of the old states and their traditional state wisdom to such an extent that crowns will roll by dozens on the pavement and there will be nobody to pick them up"
Bismarck was a clever fellow indeed. He got the French to declare war on him and then marched into Paris. He began accident and old-age insurance for Germans (as the country was now called). He also implemented socialized medicine.
