Bismarck was the guy who used social democracy to crush leftist movement

John Maynard Keynes only took it on as a mesns to rectify the class stuggle in the post ww2 UK

@Benny_Boi (weeb hunter) yes

Oh nice

Bismarck supported social democracy

@notjojo

Imma look into this

So socialism could not get a foothold

@ajsbeast my problem with worker apeasement is when it is not in the interest of democratic socialism like Bismarck or Keynes

Just a temporary tool to keep the bourgeoisie in power only to be reversed by austerity later.
