Is there any nation in Europe today that doesn't practice "the Kaiser's" state socialism?
Indeed, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the U.S., and Israel all emulate the Kaiser's welfare state.
Don't single out the Kaiser's Germany for blame. Today the entire West practices state socialism. Charles Dickens's England is long past.
I’m pointing out where it started.
And ignoring the EU’s role in this, never mind the Kaiser’s (really starting with Bismarck), is ignoring the history of the spread of this ideology.
