Well......I don't have a good feeling about this. :(

For fuck sake, 1984 is NOT an instruction manual!

It's understandable though.

Europe is in a situation today that's very similar for the working class as during the twenties.

But i suspect MOST of these people buying Mein Kampf aren't nazis or nazi sympathizers. The copyright of the book recently got outdated, which means Germans can start printing it again. And it's a really important historical document, and Germans are curious on what's been kept somewhat hidden from them all these years.

That is exactly why I don't have a good feeling about this. The more people fall into despair, the more they can/will let Hitler's twisted rationale can take root. The German people of the 1920's and early 1930's were not evil people. They felt their way of life slipping away with no foreseeable path out and that darkness fostered the environment for real darkness. To me it looks like there is a real chance of History repeating itself but it will take a couple of years to play out.

Merkle & all the SJWs are forcing people to make a choice between moving Right or being swept Left, hence Trump. The vast majority of Trump supporters don't support the man so much as the pushback to BLM & the like.

moving in all one direction creates a breeding ground for evil.

More Europeans are looking back at Hitler in a favorable light because of the marxist left that controls their government and has attempted to demographically dispossess them of their own nations with mass migration from the Muslim world. The left creates these things. Don't blame a book. Look at the cause.

Yeah. It might happen again. But there's also differences. I see a lot of people comparing today with the thirties, but that's also pretty wrong. If anything, it's the twenties. Still time to save Europe before Hitler 2.0 takes over. And there's really no Hitler 2.0 in sight, even though pretty much anyone gets called Hitler these days.

I think the situation is very different.

The response to what the left has done to the West will not necessarily be national socialism at all. I wouldn't put it past us to physically remove Muslims from Europe and North America at some point either, but that's not fascism. That's what we did for about a thousand years before we got the bright idea of just handing it over to them.

Right now, a lot of people will revolt from the idea of doing it. But I think when you see European cities being turned into little Caliphates, and marxist governments ceding control of those regions to them, and the genocide of the European people in those places commence, it won't seem so far-fetched.

I am not saying it's right or wrong. It's just how it is. European peoples are about to wake up and find some common identity again. I just don't know under what ideology that might be framed (I doubt fascism, seriously).

This is the Salvation Army ladling out soup in Germany in '31,

We're a good ways off from that still.

This is actually old news being retooled in time for Merkel's election. The last time this made headlines was last year around spring iirc. For those that don't know, the Stalag version is generally regarded as the only one available in English that isn't edited and annotated to hell and back. It was the version passed out to English and American POW's.
https://www.amazon.com/Mein-Kampf-Offic ... 1684185971

The recently released version is nothing more than liberal kool-aid.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/hitlers-mein ... 22916.html
The Institute of Contemporary History of Munich (IfZ) said they sold around 85,000 copies
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institut_ ... geschichte
The Institut für Zeitgeschichte ("Institute of Contemporary History") in Munich was conceived in 1947 under the name Deutsches Institut für Geschichte der nationalsozialistischen Zeit ("German Institute of the History of the National Socialist Era"). Founded by the German government and the State of Bavaria at the suggestion of the Allied Forces
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denazification
The Information Control Division of the US Army had by July 1946 taken control of 37 German newspapers, six radio stations, 314 theaters, 642 cinemas, 101 magazines, 237 book publishers, and 7,384 book dealers and printers.[34] Its main mission was democratization but part of the agenda was also the prohibition of any criticism of the Allied occupation forces.
Do note it's not uncommon for proceeds of the sale of Mein Kampf knock offs to go towards specifically Jewish charities.
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/hitlers-mei ... -proceeds/
The publisher had been donating proceeds from sales of the book to organizations that combat anti-Semitism since 2000, but last year announced they were going to widen the scope to include other cultural organizations. That caused Jewish advocates to speak out. They now welcome the decision to focus on Holocaust-specific causes.
