Prussianism and Socialism

Socialism has been misunderstood and distorted by Marxist ideology, obscuring its true German roots. Spengler confronts this confusion by examining how German socialism emerges not from Marx's English-influenced materialism but from Prussia's historical ethic of duty, discipline, and service to the collective whole. This short traces Germany's failed revolutionary attempts and reveals why parliamentary liberalism cannot satisfy German political instincts. Spengler demonstrates that genuine transformation requires uniting the Prussian tradition of state authority with the working class, rejecting both individualistic capitalism and Marxist class warfare. Spengler argues that the future hinges on whether power rests with financial interests or with states, calling on Germans to rise above class divisions and unite against the liberal worldview threatening the nation's existence.
