This quote by Gustav Stresemann is describing the dispute between the old Germany and the progressive concepts of socialism. Stresemann is recommending that the old Germany was partially beat in this dispute since it had failed to provide individuals with an option to socialism. This indicates that the old Germany was unable to supply individuals with a much better way of living than socialism, and as a result, the people were drawn to the progressive ideas of socialism. Stresemann is suggesting that the old Germany was not able to provide the people with a better way of life than socialism, and as an outcome, the people were drawn to the progressive ideas of socialism. This quote highlights the importance of providing individuals with a feasible alternative to socialism in order to avoid them from being drawn to it. It likewise serves as a reminder that federal governments should strive to provide their people with a much better way of life in order to stay competitive and successful.
