One thing is certain. The world war is a turning point. It is foolish and mad to imagine that we need only survive the war, like a rabbit waiting out the storm under a bush, in order to fall happily back into the old routine once it is over. The world war has altered the conditions of our struggle and, most of all, it has changed us. Not that the basic law of capitalist development, the life-and-death war between capital and labor, will experience any amelioration. But now, in the midst of the war, the masks are falling and the old familiar visages smirk at us. The tempo of development has received a mighty jolt from the eruption of the volcano of imperialism. The violence of the conflicts in the bosom of society, the enormousness of the tasks that tower up before the socialist proletariat – these make everything that has transpired in the history of the workers’ movement seem a pleasant idyll.
Obviously, this passage defines the Chaos in German government during the war period. The tempo of development has received a mighty jolt from the eruption of the volcano of imperialism (Luxemburg's essay). it defines a dead government, at this point the religious sector, proletarian, political parties all resembled like a rabbit waiting out the storm under a bush, in order to fall happily back into the old routine once it is over. in brief, if i imagine myself in that period of war in Germany, i was living under violence, no shelter, no food, prone to violence, no proper road to take in surviving. And Nietzsche would agree as nihilism in Germany.Moreover, all the departments of German's government, are not operating on their normal routine, corruption in the labor department is dominant, ignited conflict between capital and labor has not been reformed.
