Is it worth the read?

[Anonymous No.9903081]

Unless you're studying for your entrance to the Party, not really.

Whatever stereotype you have in your head about it is probably true.

Absolutely changed my life. Proud to call myself a National Socialist these days. It makes you wonder why this isn't mandatory reading in schools today, but Hitler nicely points out how Jews are interested in subversion rather than deal with facts. I recommend it to all my friends, and they've all taken the redpill

It's a tad difficult to read but I'd go for it just because of the historical value

It's one of the worst ways one can spend their time. Even if you're a Nazi or a racist or whatever, it's extremely poorly written and uninteresting -- a book only known because its author was famous. It's the 20th century of Kim Kim Kardashian publishing a biography.

Even if you're a Nazi or a racist or whatever, it's extremely poorly written and uninteresting -- a book only known because the author is famous and itself largely without merit. To put it in perspective, Mein Kampf is the 20th century equivalent of Kim Kim Kardashian publishing a biography today.

I dare you to find a more punchable face. Holy shit.

[Anonymous No.9903220]

The book has little aesthetic merit becasue it isn't sincere. It's propaganda. Hitler is selling himself. Now you might find it interesting for other reasons. I like analyzing propaganda, among other things. But this is basically a big sales pitch. An a mostly dishonest one at that. Read the OSS report if you want a more likely account of his psychological development or mental characteristics.

This, to be honest.
It's just leftwing ranting for the most part. Yeah, he raises some valid points about the Jews but mostly it's just about how the Government should be running our lives.

Anything is worth the read if you're interested in speaking intelligently about it.

Holy fuck! Well played.

This has more depth and is more entertaining.

This will make you a better person.

No, it's full of pseudo-science and inaccuracies and changes events of Hitler's life to make him seem better than he was (for example it ascribes Hugo Guttmann's capture of French soldiers singlehandedly to Adolf Hitler).

The version OP posted is available in english

[Anonymous No.9904615]

It's not outlandishly awful or a masterful work of genius, it's a fairly mediocre autobiography-manifesto hybrid by a politician with no other experience in writing.

If you want to read a piece of history surrounding WW2 then go for it, if you're expecting godlike wisdom or literally the Necronomicon then you're going to be disappointed.

[Anonymous No.9904770]

That book is Hitler selling himself.

Hitler's Table Talk is what he actually thought...

>implying sincerity has anything bearing on aesthetic merit
See Arthur K. Moore's essay 'Lyric Voices and Ethical Proofs'.
As for Mein Kampf, its lack of aesthetic merit comes from Hitler's lacking aesthetic sense/writing capabilities. Throughout Mein Kampf you'll find a variety of grammatical errors, extensive hyperbole, an over-use of what the Germans call 'Nominalstil' in a failed attempt to make his words more momentous and serious than they should/could be, list upon list where one 'point' can span about a whole paragraph, lack of coherence and all-around clarity, and also a huge number of colloquial expressions, old adages, and other cliches that would make Nabokov carve out his own eyes.
You could probably find more, but this is what I find striking. I even found it slightly worse than I'd exptected. In any case, it's a bad book which was criticised even by Hitler's Nazi contemporaries for its literary dilettantism. It'll be worth the read only because of a historic interest, and anyone who advocates reading Mein Kampf as 'literature' without reference to Hitler or his time is a pseud.

Not that it matters, of course, because people will keep remaking this thread every week without more than a line of commentary, like the OP faggot in the above.
