Otto was pretty farsighted, wasn’t he?

Yes he was. You don’t build a modern state without knowing your sh1t. Did you know Otto created the first government Social programs? While the other European leaders were fighting Socialism, Otto was co-opting it. Smart fella.
I’ll bet he would vote McCain/Palin if he were alive today. But he is dead, so he’ll vote Democratic, like the rest of he dead.
“Party of the Dead”?

Pops Hitler was a Catholic. Stalin and MAo worshipped Socialism, whih after a certain point become a religion.
I’m defining religion as ‘a belief or faith unsupported by evidence’. Rather broad I know, but it was good enough to get Scientology accepted as a religion. Socialism as a form of government requires faith or belief. Looking at just the facts, Socialism doesn’t work. Never has, never will.
