My libraries copy of Mein Kampf has been taken out 14 times

[Red Future]

Scary stuff ....even scarier it has a copy in the first place??:(

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

if you ask anyone who works at or has a bookstore theyll tell you that folks are always after that thing
it's very scary indeed

[Quail]

If it's a university library then maybe people have taken it out for essays, dissertations, etc, which might not necessarily have been right wing.

yeah I was thinking of doing that to look at potential future policies of Nazi groups.Knowing your enemy is good .I think most Nazis lack enough brain cells to read Marx and Bakunin though :laugh:!

[Magón]

I don't think most neo-Nazi's have even read Mein Kampf, to really say what they think of Hitler.

I took a copy of it out from the library and read it once.

[Tablo]

I don't see the issue with people checking it out or buying it. It has significant historical relevance and should be an interesting read with good insight into the twisted ideological perspective of Hitler. If you do buy it then make sure it wasn't published by some Nazi group though. :lol:

I have known high school kids who go though a stage where they have sort of a morbid fascination w/MK.Usually this doesn't last long. I think this more represents a desire for power or identification with someone who is seen as the personification of power than any deep sympathy with racism or Hitler's ideas. High school kids don't have much power-they live in a world dominated by their parents or school. Younger kids have a fascination with dinosaurs for the same reason.

I have known 9th and 10 th graders who have only a vague knowledge of who Hitler is, except that he represented ultimate evil and almost conquered the world. Of course some kids will identify with him, that is until they learn what really happened.

The best antidote would be a patient explanation of what Hitler did and a few books on young people like Sophie Schol who resisted Hitler.

My elementary school library had a few copies of My Struggle, actually.
In a "Biographies" section made up of like two shelves.:unsure:

[ComradeGrant]

My highschool library has it. I've read it along with a few of my other friends.

[Princess Luna]

I own a copy, I had to buy it over the internet because I was afraid the people at the local bookstore would think i was a Nazi :blushing:

[progressive_lefty]

I also tried to read it once, but only really got past halfway. I hadn't realised how big it was. I think Slavic Neo-Nazis particularly must have not read it, especially all the parts where Hitler talks about his dislike of them.

My bookstore wouldn't care. I mean shit there's a whole bookshelf just for Third-Reich/Nazi obsessions.

[A Revolutionary Tool]

My high-school library has Mein Kampf. But it also has Capital Vol. 1 and the Communist Manifesto so it's cool. It also has a book called "Basics of Marxism" or something like that which I've wanted to check out just for fun of what it says, but it's always checked out every time I check the library :)
Mein Kampf is always there though, I always check to see if it's there...

[dernier combat]

All fourteen were communist trolls.

[ZeroNowhere]

It is not clear what the problem here is. Libraries holding books of historical relevance?

[Jazzratt]

Fourteen times doesn't really seem that often, especially as you don't tell us the time period or anything. I thought this thread was going to be something about how the number 14 is relevant to white nationalists (although not really related to Hitler or Mien Kampf as far as I recall).

[Red Commissar]

Oh shit I forgot about the 14 bit. That's creepy now that I think of it.

There was a copy in my school library, I remember we used to hide it in peoples bags when they weren't looking so it would set off the alarm on the way out and they'd get their bag searched. Was pretty funny at the time.

[eyedrop]

Orwell almost got taken by the Republican Government because he had a copy of Mein Kampf, but a Capital copy saved his ass.

So remember that nazi readers, buy plenty of commie books to cover your ass, you may even read them and learn something for a change.

[Tommy4ever]

I remember reading a BBC article which talked about how books about the Nazis make up some ludicrously large portion of all book sales in Britain. Many people are obssessed with the Nazis - very few people actually support anything they did.

So calm down.

[Rusty Shackleford]

compare it with other books. see how often course related material is checked out, then compare it with communist literature. maybe just the communist manifesto since that is the one people only seem to know of.

And people checking them out!!!! THE HORROR!

[Kuppo Shakur]

Dude, let's burn all books that weren't written by marxists, amirite.

[Comrade J]

I borrowed Mein Kampf about three times when I was writing my dissertation. Not really a big deal. Even without taking into account the awful content, it's also a fucking terribly written book.

[ZeroNowhere]

Dude, let's burn all books that weren't written by marxists, amirite."Oh, well, you know, the plot is good and all, but it's not a work of Marxist theory. Sorry about that."

[Sir Comradical]

I don't think most neo-Nazi's have even read Mein Kampf, to really say what they think of Hitler.

I took a copy of it out from the library and read it once.

I don't think neo-nazis can read let alone read a long book. If these modern day nazi degenerates actually lived in Nazi Germany, they'd probably all be executed by Hitler for representing the absolute worst of the Aryan race. Hell I'd have a better chance of survival in the third reich with my brown skin and all.

[Aurora]

i wouldn't worry about it i just didn't understand it the first 13 times, ive got it now though, appearently get this right appearently...the jews are bad.. who knew? :ohmy:
