Well, it was an outgrowth of Bismarck’s “state socialism”, something that Woodrow Wilson was an admirer of:

The thesis of the state socialist is that no line may be drawn between private and public affairs which the state may not cross at will; that omnipotence of legislation is the first postulate of all just political theory.

— “Socialism and Democracy”, 1887

Not to mention, the USSR itself was part of Germany’s plot to get Russia out of the war in 1917. One may think of people such as Lenin and Trotsky as German-minded in that case.

To be fair, it’s not particularly clear if Kaiser Wilhelm II was involved in Lenin and Trotsky being shipped to Russia. For all we know, central command acted alone. But yeah, they certainly were German-minded in the sense that they followed Karl Marx.

Either way, we definitely need to shut down the EU, period.
