Smesh Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 I've been wanting to read this just because Hitler was a sadistically interesting person. My English teacher read it and she said it was a pretty good book, and he had great ideas...Except for the killing the Jews part. Anybody read it?

Tentacruel Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Meh, not into the national socialism. Socialism as an economic strategy is alright, but I don't like the social aspect of what the Nazi's had. I also dislike his superiority complex. I might read it someday, just for teh lulz.

Apostle of Calamity Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 I didn't read it but my BF read it and some of the aspects of the book have influenced his economical decisions... ~Evangeline A.K. McDowell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mehmani Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 A book made up of reasonable and quite insightful National Socialist economic theory that descends into race-hatred and bigotry for justification's sake about two-thirds into the book. Deeply terrifying is the fact that without the social ideology it reads like any other expanded economic essay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gimmepie Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 I have been interested in reading it, you know anywhere online I could? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilhorus Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 I'd read it because the Nazis fascinate me. I don't agree with their hatred of Jews, of course. Admire and Fascinate are very different. Much like the way a dangerous animal or a murder story would fascinate a person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunar Origins Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 The book is actually quite good, but he is a tad self-righteous in places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gimmepie Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 It's Hitler. Of course it's self-righteous lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Smeagle Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Yeah, he is a dictator after all, self-righteous comes with the territory. I'll get around to reading it one of these days; "know your enemy and know thyself," as they say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrath's Child Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 It starts out as a fairly honest-to-goodness autobiography, devolves into some economic theory, then finally descends into an attack on world Jewry. Pretty basic fare for the time (there were lots of these during the period between the two world wars: bigotry couched on pseudo-scientific and pesudo-economic psychobabble), only that Hitler had the means and the support and the will to put what he said into effect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
