Marxian socialism is beckoning: “Class war, not national war!” It is proclaiming: “Never again [imperialistic] war.” But it is adding in thought: “Civil war forever, revolution.”
National socialism is beckoning: “National unity! Peace among classes!” And it is adding in thought: “War on the foreign enemy!”
These solutions distill the ideas which are dividing the German nation into two hostile camps.
