Bismarck was the architect of the modern state.

He, more than almost anyone other than perhaps Marx, designed the downfall of human liberty.

“He, more than almost anyone other than perhaps Marx, designed the downfall of human liberty.”

Quite true. The progressives yammering for single-payer health care in essence are pleading for the U.S. to adopt a model for health care financing and delivery first put into place more than a century ago by Bismarck. Talk about “back to the future!” This is no longer a progressive idea, but a profoundly retarded one.

The term we associate with Kissinger, Realpolitik, was coined during the days of Bismarck.
