Nonsense. The existence of the modern welfare state in Germany was the result of defeat and occupation at the hands of the allies. Stalingrad was the best thing to happen to the German working class. Reunification was the worst.
If Georgy Zhukov ever runs for political office, he'll have my vote.
And the same is true for everywhere, including the United States. John Brown, Martin Luther King, and SNCC did far more for political change than any electoral campaign.
