Larry the Legend Loc: Not hiding in Milton

Checking email this morning, I come across this headline:

"STILL N**IS? 1yr After Ban on Hitler’s Mein Kampf is Lifted it Becomes a Bestseller in Germany"

The article opens with the statement "This is slightly disturbing", linking to an English Daily Mail article that scares us with this little gem:

"A year after Germany allowed the reprinting of Adolf Hitler's h**e-filled autobiography Mein Kampf it remains a bestseller."

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4084424/Adolf-Hitler-s-Mein-Kampf-bestseller-Germany-one-year-ban-book-lifted-sales-near-100-000.html

According to Andreas Wirsching, Director of the Institute of Contemporary History, "[t]he number of sales has overwhelmed us". Interesting. Back in the day, Hitler actually mandated legally that every German household to have a copy (Vee haf vays to make you N**ified!). Again, from the Daily Mail: "When he came to power it was nigh-on compulsory for every household in the Third Reich to possess at least one copy. Royalties from it made Hitler rich and it outsold the Bible." Ha! These guys think they're overwhelmed with orders for less than 100,000 copies!

Of course, they couldn't just print the stupid thing and let the reader decide on it's merits, oh no, can't have that! "The new version has copious notes explaining Hitler's paranoid r****m to deter readers from ever believing his twisted gospel."

Here's my take on this. Since 1945, the Bavarian government, as copyright holder of this, ahem, publication, has withheld permissions to publish. That has not deterred countless mentions of it in articles, TV shows, radio broadcasts, you name it, but no-one has been able to acquire copy and determine the root of the 'problem' for themselves. Now, after all this time, the copyright finally runs out and a new edition sells less than 100,000 copies worldwide. So for 70+ years, people worldwide have been 'teased' with this book that they are not able to peruse for themselves; now that they can, it sells a very limp 85,000 copies. Compare that with the 12.4 million it (compulsorily) sold during the N**i era.

I have personally read this book in it's original form, albeit t***smitted digitally. To describe it as "a turgid, rambling book filled with loathing of Jews and Slavs" is a bit of a stretch, but the "turgid, rambling" part is generally true. He does say a lot of the same things over and over and over and over and... (well, you get it). Point is, I didn't suddenly start wearing jack boots and 'zieg heil'-ing all over the place. I found it mildly interesting from a historical perspective and still cannot, for the life of me, figure out how anyone would v**e for the author of this, this, wh**ever you want to call it. Anyway, decide for yourself. I'm attaching it to this post for all to see.

See how easy that was? Now, go ahead and read it then see if you can figure out the fundamental flaws like the rest of us.

I have read 'The Manifesto' through twice and parts of it numerous other times. It was one of the worst reading experiences I have ever endured. Perhaps 'Mein Kampf' is worse. I've wanted to read it not realizing how unavailable it must be. I know some libraries have copies of it, as well as 'The Manifesto' as part of their Great Books collection.

Thanks but then I saw it's 557 pages?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? I'll take your word for it. I might do 40 pages but that's about it. To read the full thing would have to be on a level of reading a book by Barack H. Obama, Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid. I can take just so much. Cruel & unusual punishment.

It's not that bad. Does have a lot of repetitive dogma though...

It was the Z*****ts who were allied with Hitler.
The deal the Z*****ts made with Hitler in 1933 allowed them to escape to Palestine with a fortune in confiscated Jewish bank accounts.
Non-Z*****t Jews were left to work and die in the N**i war industries.
Z*****m was a t*****r to Jews then as it is now. Z*****m is the new N**ism.
