I remember an interesting segment in a documentary I saw on Mein Kampf. An elderly man remembered being six years old and hearing his father talking to his friends at the dinner table. He snuck into the room to see what the grown-ups were talking about, and he was surprised to see his father holding up a copy of Mein Kampf. His friends were saying, “Hitler isn’t going to start a war. He’d be crazy to even try!” His father pointed to his copy of Mein Kampf and said, “Read this book! It’s right here, in his own words!” That’s the best argument against censorship I’ve ever heard.

Great job, writer of this episode! 6 Years ago a big history and philosophy publishing house in The Netherlands recieved backlash for publishing a new translation of Oswald Spengler's The Decline of The West, as this book is deemed "undemocratic". I remember walking past a bookshop where the publishing house paid for advertisement posters to be put outside the venue. They read: "Why would you only read books that you agree with?" As a scholar in history and philosophy of culture I can attest that it is of vital importance that we read books that contain things we don't agree with. That is why my book shelve contains several works of an alt-right academic philosopher whose views are diametrically opposed to mine. It's like that saying: keep your friends near, but your enemies nearer. One has to properly understand their opponent in order to be able to defeat them or, as in this case, so that history will not repeat itself.

It’s not just that they were defeated. The British blockaded Germany throughout most of the war and after the armistice. Germany was starving for years. It was so bad that in the 1920s and 1930s, you could tell which kids were born during the war years because they were so small and under developed. Germany also had to rebuild their nation. The entire governmental system was changed: they went from having a Kaiser to having democratic elections, no one knew what type of party to establish, radical ideas were coming from every side (right and left). Much of their colonies were dissolved and given to the allies. And just to make this worse, the conditions imposed at Versailles almost ensured that animosity, conspiratorial thinking, and scapegoating would continue. Germany did not start ww1 just like Russia didn’t start it, England didn’t start it, France didn’t start it. This was a conflict between austro-Hungary and Serbia, and the diplomatic and international conditions of the time (alliance system, the fact that people weren’t avoiding war) all allowed for this conflict to happen, but Germany gets blamed. Oh, and the 1919 influenza pandemic which killed just as many as the war itself. The nazi party genuinely seemed like a viable option because they sold the idea that they would create a “greater community” of sorts that took care of each other-every family gets a car and access to vacation days at fancy resorts for cheap and every married couple gets a cheque for being married (and also mein kampf, a wedding gift from the father himself), and paid time off and they fixed the economy, industrialized Germany, upped agriculture. And also they were sticking up for Germany when it appeared to a lot of Germans like they were being bullied and controlled by the allies. Now tell me, given the state of our world right now and what happened with covid and the wars in the east, are we acting any different? All I’m saying is the average German, at least at first, becomes less confusing when you put everything into context on how they could appeal to the nazi party.

The “superior race” was determined by Darwinian biologists at the time. Hitler didn’t invent this “science”! He merely exploited the vile science of the day. There was a very strong adherence to the notion of human evolution at the time that “demonstrated” a genetic and racial hierarchy. These ideas were highly popular among western academics. It was due to the fact that this hierarchy was already commonly accepted that his ideas were able to get off the ground. No one at the time would have accepted these ideas simply because Hitler said them. The “trust the science” crowd had already paved the way for Hitler.

Notice the way that it posits that those who are not among the "naturally superior" and/or will or can not fight their way to the top DESERVE to be dispossessed, oppressed or eliminated -- and that those are the only two alternatives. So (a) blame the victim (b) make it so that the point is to get on top at all costs -- but this implies that the "struggle" will NEVER end since the only way to prevail is to always be fighting your way to the top and always asserting your superiority over some inferior. So whoever was not already on top would be at risk of being next chosen as a target.

When I was a junior in High School, I borrowed a copy of Mein Kampf from the school library. I was purely motivated out of curiosity; I didn't have a fascist mindset. As I recall, I mostly found it a bit tedious; I didn't come close to finishing. People looked at me a bit funny as I carried it around; my creative writing teacher - who was Jewish - was a bit disturbed, but he came up to me and said, "you read that, and see how hateful that book really is!" As I had a knack for writing, he eventually accepted that I was not simply the sort who would read it uncritically.

Looking back, Hitler's rise to power is still one of the most fascinating topics we covered in school in History class. Wile radicalization of Germany and its politics was unavoidable after Versailles, it is mind-boggling that by sheer determination (grouned on hate and fanatism mind you) and exploiting a faulty constitution some random Austrian guy managed to take over Germany without force. With force meaning that he didn't start a civil war for his, what by German historians is rather called "Machtübernahme" (coming into power) than "Machtergreifung" (seizure of power/takeover). This man played the masses and (ab)used his political isnfluence to get himself into a position of absolute power, which sadly as we know resulted in the death of millions.

Actually, he wrecked the economy by pouring *everything* into an all-or-nothing war while severing trade relations with all but Italy and (to a lesser extent) the USSR, to the point of where Germany was literally days away from economic collapse when he began his land-grabbing. The only way to fix that was through rampant looting of conquered nations, the idea being that the war would pay for itself. Unfortunately, most of that wealth was swiped by Hitler or his top cronies to personally enrich themselves, so they tried to make ends meet via slave labor. It wasn't enough. Hitler did not understand economics at all, nor did many of his cronies.

But there's literally six other people who lived during his time and after that were equally evil and even got away with their crimes unlike Hitler. Stalin wrote a book and he is actually praised yet he did everything Hitler did and more. Same thing with Mao. In fact all of these people's actions and books were influenced by the king of evil Karl Marx. Saying Hitler and everything associated with him as being the most evil is just redundant and makes him look more than just another socialist leader promoting economics and beliefs that will always lead to evil and destruction.
