Why was Mein Kampf one of the most harmful books of the 20th century?
|
Are you freakin Serious??????????
|
Haha! I wanted to do the same, but refrained....
|
Yeah, I really should have held my tongue. I mean, it's not as though Mein Kampf directly contributed to an incredibly large portion of the German population participating in or at the very least ignoring the murder of 6 million innocent people, simply because they were Jewish......wait......

If your implication here is that 'if Mein Kampf hadn't been written, the holocaust wouldn't have happened', you're way off. Read a history book.
If the list was 'Top Ten Evil People of the 20th Century', Hitler would definitely make the list. His book sucked, wasn't popular, and wasn't what propelled him to power. It wasn't influential enough to belong on this list.
edit: looks like you repudiate your position later in the thread. Sounds good. [/b][/quote]
Where did I say that it was the cause of the halocaust. Nowhere. I said it contributed, there is a big difference. And the freakin book was mandatory reading for the Hitler Youth, and by the end, membership in the Hitler Youth was madatory (hell, even the pope had to join up). You have that many people reading it and being preached to that it is the gospel truth, and it's gonna have some influence.
