I want to read Mien Kampf and see what all the fuss is about but I want to read a good edition, I heard the one they sell at Barns and Noble is shit tier. I have been told by several people to get the Stalag or the Murphy edition, can you help me out lit
>inb4 back to /pol/
I would seriously like to know what version to get.

>> No.4819241

Murphy edition is the one to get, I think you can even get it on Amazon.

why do you want to read it?

Because I am not close minded I like to learn about all sorts of ideologies.

WOULD YOU ASK THE SAME QUESTION IF SOMEONE WANTED TO READ "DAS KAPITAL", OR "THE COMMUNIST MANIFESTO"?

>> No.4819247

If you want a TL;DR of how Hitler fixed Germany's economy and social programs to make them some of the best in the world you can read this book by Leon Degrelle one of his best generals:

Why the fuck would that be similar? Would you say the same thing about other books that weren't made by communist. Fucking idiot

OP here, thanks I will probably read that today since it is only 11 or so pages. I still want to know what version of Mien Kampf to buy.

You can't even bother to spell the title correctly, so fuck off. This is, after all, a literature board.

The problem is it's so badly written and it meanders more than Ulysses. It's a pretty terrible book and really does little to educate about his beliefs and ideologies. I read it a few years ago and honestly don't feel like I learnt anything in doing so. If anything it just left me with more questions.

The communist manifesto makes arguments with compelling rhetoric and passionate ire, standing as an important work of modernism. It's ideaology may be doomed to idealism, but Marx writes nobly.
Mein Kampf is meandering and anemic in it's attempt to persuade and it's of wonder whether it was the force of the book or the force of the nation that peddled it's ideology.

>> No.4821015

Most /pol/acks tend to recommend the Fords translation of the book, OP.

I would start there.

You could... if you are really determined - you could just find all the English translations and read all of them. It's not that long of a book and by then I'm sure you'd determine which has bias and which doesn't.

Hitler mag zwar viel beim Pathos der Griechen abgeschaut haben, es würde mich jedoch überraschen wenn er sein Denken in irgendeiner Weise dem griechischen Denken angepasst hätte, mehr noch, es würde mich überraschen wenn Hitler auch nur ein einziges Buch der "klassischen" Griechen gelesen hat.

No, because those are worthy reading

But I guess we're in for another thread built upon a false equivalency because BOTH KILLED TRILLIONS IN THE 20TH CENTURY etc.

Is there such thing as well-written white nationalist literature, or is the idea that you have to have a thesis elaborated on with analyses of evidence, an engaging story, multifaceted characters, and/or sentences that don't sound awkward when you say them aloud all just Jewish nonsense?

Mein Kampf was a first draft, for Christ's sake.

Definitely read the Manheim translation, OP. Murphy is OK though, honestly.

A scientific edition should be near publication by Christian Hartmann but I can't seem to find more info on it.

I'm pretty sure that one's in German - since the copyright on Mein Kampf runs out next year, Germany is publishing an annotated edition.

See http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/german-historian-discusses-new-scholarly-edition-of-hitler-s-mein-kampf-a-834560.html

But it looks like the state of Bavaria doesn't want to pay anymore: http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702304202204579254234018062924 So by now it's anyone's guess.

I don't think it was badly written, it just wasn't a Fascist Bible. More about him bitching about his observations. I think it's good to obtain a concept on how Hitler's thought process but not so much Nazism or Fascism.
