But that has to be a waste right? Great Man Theory, dialectical materialism, blah blah

Germany still would've became fascist because of their overwhelming debt to the victors of WWI. They most certainly still would have started World War II in some way. They almost certainly would've also started genociding the disabled, and probably move on the non-Aryans eventually, or at the very least thrown them all in prisons or some internment zone

    How about Karl Kautsky?
    If his reformist ideas don't become dominant in the SPD preceding WW1 and they follow the line of Luxemburg and Liebknecht, how history could've turned out completely different is one of the things that annoys me the most of anything in history.

    The thought that, if it weren't for the Kautsky SPD(and other socdems in Europe tbf) we might actually already live in a kind of FALGSC like society if they had just taken the correct line.

    The possibilities, revolution in Germany(Europe generally), no WW1 and WW2 possibly,USSR and Germany allies not enemies, no purges like they happened, no forced resettlements, no 1930s famine maybe, endless positive potentials not realized because of goddamn sucdems, truly maddening...

    So, yeah for those reasons, Karl Kautsky, worst person in history, has to go.
