Hermann Bahr—I have spoken of him before[^5]—wrote a refutation of Schaeffle's book. The title of the book was: *Die Aussichtslosigkeit der Sozialdemokratie* (translates as ‘Social democracy—Outlook nil’); the refutation was entitled: *Die Einsichtslosigkeit des Herrn Schaeffle* (translates as ‘Mr. Schaeffle—Insight nil’), a brilliant little book. He called it a bit of naughtiness in a recent lecture. It is still quite a brilliant piece of work, written in his youth.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"8.

Schäffle hat schon damals in umfassender Weise den Versuch gemacht, den Staat als einen Organismus aufzufassen und die einzelnen Menschen als die Zellen von diesem Organismus. Hermann Bahr, von dem ich Ihnen auch schon öfter gesprochen habe, hat damals eine Widerlegung des Schäffleschen Buches über die organische Wirksamkeit im Staate geschrieben. Als Schäffle dann ein Buch geschrieben hat über «Die Aussichtslosigkeit der Sozialdemokratie», schrieb Hermann Bahr eine Widerlegung dieses Buches und betitelte diese Widerlegung «Die Einsichtslosigkeit des Herrn Schäffle». Es ist ein geistreiches Büchelchen von Hermann Bahr. Hermann Bahr hat es neulich selber in einem Vortrag, den er gehalten hat, eine Ungezogenheit genannt.
