What is meant by referring to Bismarck as White Revolutionary?

In European countries, political parties and ideologies tend to be associated with colors. The most famous example, which you've probably heard, is that Communists (and often Socialists too) are associated with the color red. A few other examples are:
- Black is often associated with center-right or right-wing Christian-based parties, like the CDU/CSU union in Germany, or the Austrian People's Party. In Italy, however, it was the color of the Fascist party so nobody uses it there.
- Green obviously with Green and other environmentalist parties
- Yellow is typically associated with liberal parties
- Blue is often right-leaning parties, for example, the Freedom Party of Austria or the Conservative Party of the UK.
Bismarck was a monarchist and extreme conservative- firmly a "white" (although he wasn't actually in a political party). He fought hard to strengthen the monarchy in Germany, and the suppress the growing socialist movement of the late 1800s. His efforts can be seen as revolutionary, in counter to the socialist revolutionaries of the time.

What was meant by this quote from Otto von Bismarck Not through speeches and majority decisions are the great questions of the day decided but by iron and blood Also who was his audience?
Bismarck said this to the Prussian Parliament in 1862. The liberal majority in the parliament rejected his plans for vastly increased military spending. The meaning of the comment is twofold: # The key decisions are made by war, not by democratically elected bodies. # It expresses his utter contempt for democracy.
Did Otto Von Bismarck single-handedly achieve German unification?
One can not solely claim that Otto Von Bismarck brought about German unification. It was a number of factors which worked in his favor. For example, the Zollverein was an effective economic force in unifying some of the disgruntled southern states with Prussia. But in relation to Bismarck 'single-handedly' achieving German Unification, one could state that he did so pragmatically, in such events as the annexation of Luxembourg, which caused an upsurge in nationalism and anti-french feeling throughout Germany, this allowed him to have a huge military budget passed and gave him the ample opportunity to defeat Napoleon II. One could not just argue that Bismarck single-handedly achieved German unification, it was brought about through 'blood and iron' and not 'coal and iron' as Keynes later argues. Pragmatic actions coupled with the superiority of the free trading Zollverein under the helm of Von Roon. It should also be noted that Bismarck never planned full German Unification, a key primary source that concludes this can be found in a letter to his wife, which reads 'There is nothing left to achieve in our lifetime'. But evidently the military pacts Prussia had made with southern states on the eve of warfare meant that if warfare broke out, Prussia would have political dominance over those states. Nationalism within Germany at the time can not be credited as a significant factor in German unification. Numbers within nationalist groups were always relatively low, and it is important not to confuse nationalism with patriotism. Thus concluding this short response. It was pragmatic Bismarck actions that brought about German unification, but Germany was certainly not unified by Bismarck 'single-handedly'.
