As much as I sympathise with your remarks about Kautsky, the other name on your list should have been Bebel rather than Wilhelm Liebknecht

I find Bebel's remarks about "socialism and communism" being "totally unfamiliar concepts, double-duth words" rather humorous. Besides his unsung Woman and Socialism work and his "anti-Semitism is the socialism of fools" remark, what were his theoretical contributions?
Did he literally conceive social democracy (being the founder of the SPD) as being, in Kautsky's words, the "union of the labour movement and socialism"?
