 Introduction to 19th-Century Socialism
The notion of socialism can be traced back centuries in various forms, notably among the earliest Christians (see the remarkable story in Acts 4:34-5:11); and the model of monastic communism, with individuals owning nothing except what they collectively shared was constantly before the eyes of Europeans throughout much of the Christian era.

But no! For the collapse of the present-day (1889-1914) International not to turn into the collapse of socialism, for the masses not to turn away, and to prevent the domination of anarchism and syndicalism (just as shamefully [as] in France), the truth must be looked in the face.

 International Socialist Review   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Right at this moment there is a prosecution of Milosevic going on in the international tribunal, and the prosecutors are kind of hampered because they can’t find direct orders, or a direct connection even, linking Milosevic to any atrocities on the ground.
But the few credible estimates that are available from the German ambassador–in a paper published in the ultra-left Harvard International Review–and another in the Boston Globe by the regional director of the Near East Foundation, who had field experience in Sudan–both estimate several tens of thousands of deaths, which is plausible, maybe more, maybe less.
And throwing red meat to that constituency is very dangerous for the world, because it means violence and aggression, but also for the country, because it means harming civil liberties in a serious way.

 Alfred Verdross and Othmar Spann: German Romantic Nationalism, National Socialism and International Law
As a diplomat of the German-Austrian Republic in Berlin in 1919 he wrote a substantial argument for the immediate Anschluss of Austria to Germany, pleading, inter alia, that all German speakers, including those living in the Sudetenland and the South Tyrol, should be part of a single Germany.
All of this suggests that Verdross's association with National Socialism was not a short-lived, purely opportunistic or otherwise `weak' bowing or bending to circumstances.
This very critical piece highlights Verdross's engagement for an international law of peoples (un droit des peuples) and stresses that Verdross attached to this framework the pre-1914 doctrine of the droits fondamentaux of States, thereby radically subjectivizing international law and destabilizing it by relying on a doctrine of absolute State sovereignty.
