Is mein kampf as evil as people say??

Answer 1

In his book, Hitler divides humans into categories based on physical appearance, establishing higher and lower orders, or types of humans. At the top, according to Hitler, is the Germanic man with his fair skin, blond hair and blue eyes. Hitler refers to this type of person as an Aryan. He asserts the Aryan is the supreme form of human, or master race. Hitler describes the struggle for world domination as an ongoing racial, cultural, and political battle between Aryans and Jews. He outlines his thoughts in detail, accusing the Jews of conducting an international conspiracy to control world finances, controlling the press, inventing liberal democracy as wells as Marxism, promoting prostitution and vice, and using culture to spread disharmony.

Throughout Mein Kampf, Hitler refers to Jews as parasites, liars, dirty, crafty, sly, wily, clever, without any true culture, a sponger, a middleman, a maggot, eternal blood suckers, repulsive, unscrupulous, monsters, foreign, menace, bloodthirsty, avaricious, the destroyer of Aryan humanity, and the mortal enemy of Aryan humanity...

Yes it is evil philosophy

Answer 2

Although it is thought of as having been 'written' by Hitler, Mein Kampf is not a book in the usual sense. Hitler never actually sat down and pecked at a typewriter or wrote longhand, but instead dictated it to Rudolph Hess while pacing around his prison cell in 1923-24 and later at an inn at Berchtesgaden.

Reading Mein Kampf is like listening to Hitler speak at length about his youth, early days in the Nazi Party, future plans for Germany, and ideas on politics and race.

The original title Hitler chose was "Four and a Half Years of Struggle against Lies, Stupidity and Cowardice." His Nazi publisher knew better and shortened it to Mein Kampf, simply My Struggle, or My Battle.

In his book, Hitler divides humans into categories based on physical appearance, establishing higher and lower orders, or types of humans. At the top, according to Hitler, is the Germanic man with his fair skin, blond hair and blue eyes. Hitler refers to this type of person as an Aryan. He asserts the Aryan is the supreme form of human, or master race.

And so it follows in Hitler's thinking, if there is a supreme form of human, then there must be others less than supreme, the Untermenschen, or racially inferior. Hitler assigns this position to Jews and the Slavic peoples, notably the Czechs, Poles, and Russians.

"...it (Nazi philosophy) by no means believes in an equality of races, but along with their difference it recognizes their higher or lesser value and feels itself obligated to promote the victory of the better and stronger, and demand the subordination of the inferior and weaker in accordance with the eternal will that dominates this universe." - Hitler states in Mein Kampf

I don't think you can call a book evil, there have been many books written for the purpose of documenting a radical new philosophy or plan for social control. You should read it it and decide yourself what your impression is!

Answer 3

No,
And it is an important work to study! It is vital to understand how the German's were propogated into the War and Holocaust.

Many of the ideas in Mein Kampf come from Martin Luther (A HUGE ANTI-SEMITE) and Neitsche (sp>?) who believed in the ubermenchen that Hilter wanted to become.

It is a very sensative topic to German people!

Answer 4

The book is the work of a poorly educated and very damaged person trying to come off as an educated and visionary person. What he did later is evil. The book itself is not evil only following it is.

Answer 5

The book itself is not as evil as people say it is, but instead it is some of the views expressed by the evil man the book is biographing that scares people. Don't forget that the book is basically just the series of tribulations that shaped Hitler into who he was and his interpretations on them. Of course most of the views he held we would call evil, but is the bible evil just because of the passages that say how Satan went from God's right hand angel to the demon we all know and love to hate.

Answer 6

yes..
having read the book.which is not very edifying,but wanting to get into his mind set you can see how evil this guy was.he was able to cultivate a hatered that already existed in Europe ....
it is the ramblings of an insane man who has absolutely no concept of right or wrong from a moral perspective.only what is good for him and thus aryans...is basically his ideal of right or wrong..

Answer 7

"Mein Kampf" was written by Adolph Hitler. It lays out his vision and his plan. It's author certainly was evil, and so was his vision.
