Quotes from Otto Von Bismarck

[OldSchopenhauer]

Anyone that categorizes Hitler as either a liberal or conservative is an irredeemable lout.

[KAPTAINmORGANnWo4eva]

"Politics ruins the character". I'm going to have to disagree with the Prince-Chancellor there. My reason? The Prince-Chancellor himself.

Also, as to the Left-Right debate about Hitler: Hitler's governmental and financial policies, NOT his social ones, were Fascist, and therefore were on the Centre of the spectrum. His social policies don't even deserve to be on the spectrum.

[K3Nshady]

Fascism, is anti-liberalism (individualism) and anti-conservatism (e.g. overriding the constitution & making your own rules//encouraging 'ideal/aryan' single women to atleast have children even without marriage/iArtificial insemination and let the State raise it for them). 1 reason Nazi's don't like communists, is because of egalitarianism/equality for all, they favor eugenics/social Darwinism.

[McCarthy331]

Laws are like sausages, its better not to see them being made. :) I gota remember that one

[McCarthy331]

any body notice how if you go to far in either direction you end up with simmiler evils and simmiler views?

[Theodoric476]

To those who believe that fascism is leftist remember that fascism belied in unfettered capitalism. Distained liberal believes as bourgeois and elitist, wrapped themselves in the flag, surprised independent labor unions and repealed inheritance taxes.

two of my favorite things in this video the German empire and the Beatles

:D

[Gustaveleloup]

Nicht IchBinDerKaiser oder vielleicht IchBinDieKaiserin?

Anyway, if Bismarck had been Kaiser, the German Empire would exist to this day and the Hohenzollerns wouldn't be languishing in obscurity.

[thatguywhodid]

People, Bismarck was not a nationalist nor a Conservative nor a Socialist. He was a realist who knew how to craft himself a legacy

[GiveMeLiberty3]

A great German nationalist.

[Radagis2]

whats the song?

[uzickimajmunac]

Another quote from Bismarck.....Fuck Grdelicka Klisura!

[heomak]

oops..i think she was his great granddaughter...not granddaughter..not entirely sure..i didn't think much of it then!

[heomak]

i met his granddaughter in Hong Kong. She's training at a five star hotel to become a chef. I can't remember her name! But she's a cute petite blond girl! 

[pyramidheadkitten9]

Truly a great man. Although I respect him, I think Wilhelm II made a very poor choice in getting rid of Bismarck. It is unfortunate that the Nazis have turned Bismarck into their mascot next to Hitler and forever ruined his reputation.

[chrisburchardt]

Brilliant! I knew some of these Sprüche ... how I laughed though! Thanks!!!

[BrainvsBraun24]

Great man who founded a great country.

[toppguun]

th best that happen to germany in its history!!!!

[TheKaimark]

Er ist ein großer Mann gewesen in der deutschen Geschichte.

[Strongholddg]

I love this guy

[PolskiNarodowiecND]

Unbelievable.This cheauvinist is admired and not one word for his reppressions against Poles in their prussian partition of PolandLPoles could not even speak Polish in public places;our ancient craddle-Great Poland with first capital Gniezno and nearby Poznań turned to strongholds of enemy colonisation.

[PolskiNarodowiecND]

Had it not been for WW I,which Germany provoked under Wilhelm II in all aspects,they would've been forcefully turned into Germany in no more than 20 years;just before WWI Poles were expropriated of their property.

[davery1234]

"No civilisation, other than that which is Christian, is worth seeking or possesing"

[Kralhonj]

Bismarck was without doubt a brilliant politician, without him Germany would have stayed in a state of divided feudalism for a lot longer. Unfortunately he never applied his genius to democratic principles, he helped create a nation that was conditioned not to criticize the status quo, thus paving the way for the idiot emperor Wilhelm II and later Hitler and his Nazi cronies.

[Fliegengott666]

@Kralhonj

Putting Wilhelm II. and Hitler on the same level is ... questionable, to say the least.

[Kralhonj]

@Fliegengott666 I’m not “putting them on the same level” Wilhelm was an imbecile but his autocratic interference in the politics of the Reischstag and his deluded notions of diplomatic strategy effectively isolated Germany and pushed them into a preventive war; the Great War which was so costly for Germany and left the country in complete chaos which in turned helped nurture the fanaticism of the Nazis.

[MajBlood]

I love the damned fool thing in the Balkans quote. He called that shit straight out.

[falloutgodTeutonicL]

Great video

Long live the greatest politician ever to live

[ivkekosovo]

Bismark was of Serbian origin.He wrote that his grandmother spoke only Serbian language,that she didnt know a word of German.

Today,still Serbs live in Brandenburg and Saxony,they are known as Lusatian Serbs or Sorbs...I have great respect for Bismarck and i am proud of his origin!He did great things for Germany.

[Radagis2]

Bismarck was the best german politician. He did many for germany and europe.

[shlomooo000]

Bismarck was NOT a fascist. He was a pragmatic conservative who fought for the Prussian Junkers. He was the consumat politician. And he beat the shit out of France :)

[dasmysteryman12]

I admire Bismarck's effort to unite Germany rather than his Kulturkampf policy. But still, nice video. :D

Most people ignore Germany's history before Hitler's rise to power, thus when people think of Germany they think of Hitler instead of great German men like Bismarck, Frederick the Great and Beethoven.

[maunus]

@dasmysteryman12

And also about Arminius!

[dasmysteryman12]

@maunus Yeah, him too. :D

[ERICxISxMONTREAL]

Long live the Second Germanic Reich, if i had to live in one place at one time, it would be Berlin, 1915.

[maunus]

@ERICxISxMONTREAL

Why 1915? There was war then... I'd prefer the time during the Pax Germania, when the German Empire ruled supreme in continental Europe, and every major invention and discoveries from the continent were from that empire...

[ERICxISxMONTREAL]

@maunus Germany was winning the war until late 1916. to live in one of the most successful empires of all time with a winning war campaign. what's not to love.

[miesko123]

Burn in hell with your Kulturkampf and germanisation!

Accually the Nationalist are considerd Left wings. Hitler was a Nationalist soicalist-Right-wing. As i must tell poeple nationalist are not Nazis

[achimvr]

Hätte man nicht wenigstens auch die dt. Orignalzitate einblenden können, immerhin war er doch Deutscher!

[ivanmullan6000]

A very intersting and intelligent man, whose words still ring true in 1010.. ages change human nature dosent

[SatchmoSings]

Bismarck's ruthless pragmatism is something this world needs; ideological bickering let alone acting out is not only useless, it's counter-productive.

[kondurperusix]

He was far right??? just  like hitler????????

[IchBinDieKaiser]

Hitler was in no way right wing. Read the book Liberal Fascism by Jonah Goldberg. It will explain.

[kondurperusix]

Both were extremists

[Torur0A]

@kondurperusix theres nothing wrong in being extremist...........

America is an extremist demogphraty(written)

[SatchmoSings]

@kondurperusix Bismarck was only "extreme" when it came to being pragmatic/realistic.

He was a true genius in that he had NO ideology except to accept and face facts, not to pursue fallacies.

[Mrben1111116]

@IchBinDieKaiser Um is that a joke? check up on your politics mate. Fascism is a direct result of a hyper right wing government.

[IchBinDieKaiser]

@Mrben1111116 Fascism is a left wing ideology. There is nothing conservative about it. The actual name of the nazi party was the National Socialist German Workers Party. There is nothing right wing about it. They were pro-enviromentalism, pro-universal health care, pro-animal rights, anti-drug, and did not tolerate anyone who didn't fall in line with their political beliefs. Had Hitler been a military man, maybe, but instead he was a vegetarian painter. Not right wing.

[pyramidheadkitten9]

@IchBinDieKaiser they were right wing ideology with hitler and nazism, but i agree that far too many quasi intellectuals always compare right wingers to fascists judging from CNN and their college professors.

[rfw1994]

@IchBinDieKaiser There are some important thinks you missed out there. Right wing does not equal conservative. One can be progressive/liberal and right wing at the same time. Furthermore, Mussolini was a fascist, Hitler was authoritarian. And Bismarck, he was just a smart opportunist who sided with the strongest party in the Reichstag.

[Seudin2]

@IchBinDieKaiser Just because it was called socialist doesnt meen it was-before Hitler took control of that party it was socialist but afterwards he and his politic of Murdering and slaughtering milions of people ruined the name Socialist,by the way hitler sent Socialists and communists to contrecation camps

[IchBinDieKaiser]

@Seudin2 He disliked communism only for its multinationalism. National Socialism was Socialism for nationalists. It was for those who liked the ideas of communism, but didn't identify with the workers of other countries. Hitler was heavily influenced by Karl Marx. The Nazis said they were against the capitalists and the communists. The only socialists he sent to the concentration camps were the ones who did not support him.

[LemVlad]

Apparently you missed Hitler making trade unions illegal and killing those who didn't fall in line, or awarding lucrative state contracts to big business. Hitler's economic plan was the same conservative strategy of other European powers: extract raw material from a subservient empire, in his case Eastern Europe. Nazism's main principles were nationalism, militarism, anti-intellectualism, and preserving old hierarchies. Rhetorically socialism represented the exact opposite

[FreakishDonQuixote]

@IchBinDieKaiser oh, gosh. You're so clueless.

[OldSchopenhauer]

@IchBinDieKaiser lol

[lotsofcooki3s]

@kondurperusix There is no concept of left or right in national socialism. That is why it's called "The 3rd position" doh! You guys really skipped history class in college.

[McCarthy331]

@kondurperusix bismark is nothing like hittler. actualy he may be the opposite a shrewd and strong leader who despite having the political power to take control from the Kiser left when the Kiser asked. And, more importantly, he was'nt a fasist lunitic

[lauxsd123]

@kondurperusix He was nothing like Hitler. He was a greatman. Hitler was a demon.

[musicologo1able]

The name is von Bismarck with a small "v"

[yvesguilland]

schöne Musik von Beatles,  tja, schön Erinnerung. ..

[Ne4matas]

It's All true, The guy who made this video is right.. So Stop Talking about nonsents, ant try to understand what this video is about, when you do then you can Comment about this video.. So please stop saying nonsens :) Thanks :

[Questfortruth86]

Bismarck was a lunatic socialist who threw out all free market thinkers in Germany, and used the German Historical school, and intense nationalistic rhetoric, to justify his socialism. He is responsible for the rise of German collectivism, Hitler and Nazzism.

[MarsImperator2]

you don't know what youre talking about! idiot

you sound like a real paranoid and anti-german

watch ad 2010 maybe you understand what YOOUUR market is about !!!

[DerAusroter]

[hanson666999]

A profoundly important man and one of the greatest of the 19th-20th century. My sincere admiration for Bismarks ability to rule and his political insight knows no bounds. I wish i had lived in those times i really do.

[JLangk]

Otto Von Bismarck is my idol! He's the greatest man in modern time!

[MarsImperator2]

greatest man ever!

[TreueumTreueFest62]

If he wouldn't have been in the power in Germany,the communists would have striken first in Germany,not in Russia and then Germany would have became in the first communist state in the world

[idontnowwathtoput]

[IchBinDieKaiser]
