It's Hitler you dip. Of course it does.

yes it's still a top seller in many parts of the world

neither of these answer the question at all

is it good? could Hitler write?

No, he couldn't write. It's pointlessly meandering, at times contradictory, almost stream of consciousness.

A quote:

>If the National Socialist movement really desires to be consecrated by history to a great mission for our people, it must, penetrated by knowledge of, and filled with suffering for, her real situation on this earth, valiantly and conscious of its goal, take up the fight against the aimlessness and incompetence which have heretofore guided the German people on the course of foreign affairs.

what a spaghetti mess

No, he was a sperg and if you ctrl+f the word 'jew' it literally appears on every page

>almost stream of consciousness.
It was dictated you dicktaster.

>He who has not himself been gripped in the clutches of this strangulating viper will never come to know its poisoned fangs

How would dictating make editing impossible?

It wouldn't, he's an ignorant /pol/tard with no idea what he's talking about.

His next post will prove this.

This isn't true at all.

>t. Muh share opinions of book I've never read

Kys, my man

>The fox is always a fox, the goose a goose, the tiger a tiger, etc., and the difference can lie, at the most, in the different measure of strength, force, cleverness, skill, perseverance, etc., of the various specimens

Hitler's forced animal metaphors are the best

It wouldn't, I was just explaining the style. The way your quote embeds information suggests it was expounded after the fact, for example. It's still inevitably going to retain stylistic "stream of consciousness" remnants of dictation. I can't think of a single dictated book that doesn't, can you?

Definite historical value, but the book is quite a slog and lacks literary merit. The second half is particularly atrocious, and I don't fault western politicians who are castigated for not having read it.

Are the sections on propaganda interesting?

>I can't think of a single dictated book that doesn't, can you?
Of course! Paradise Lost was completely dictated since Milton was blind. There's not an inch of loose stream in that poem.

Goethe dictated many of his first drafts, as did Dostoevsky. It used to be a very common thing before the typewriter!

No, and I say this without making political judgement. There are far better works on propaganda out there.

btw you might find this archive interesting.

If you believe in multiple intelligence theory, Hitler's genius was in his speech, as is widely attested. Goebbels' was a far more persuasive propaganda writer.

no and hitler had a small penis think about hat

I meant specifically non-fiction written in prisons, jackass.

jk I concede my point.

:) No worries mate!

There's actually quite an interesting story behind Hitler's stay in prison, the German state was very 'right' back then and Hitler had it very nice. See here or a hilarious Hitler in Lederhosen: spiegel.de/international/germany/adolf-hitler-s-time-in-jail-flowers-for-the-fuehrer-in-landsberg-prison-a-702159.html

For some reason this reminds me of those pictures of dogs wearing people clothes with jaded looks on their faces.

it gives you insight into hitler. not a total one but as close as you can really get. you know guy has problems when he comes of as a twat in his own book, even after he went back few times and edited it

itz bad n bad written becuz Nazis were evil. It dont make sense and contradict liberal programming. wat a tard I fuggin hate nazis remember the six gorilliom

t. hasn't read it

why was this post removed?

Because he realised how cringeworthy it was and wanted to save face.

It's essential reading. Read the Ford translation.
