I think it was a best seller because it has a very limited printage.

So people buy a lot of these books and sell it on ebay like i see for very nice prices.
About 4-5 times higher than the original price.
This book can be read on the Internet. Once they buy it so for them it is not just a book it is a symbol. It is a bad sign. After the democratic reform can come of radical nationalists. It will be the same as in 1933.

This book couldnt be reprinted because the copyright holder didnt allowed it.
Every original could be shared, sold or bought without problems.
In 2016 the 70 years copyright duration ended and everyone can reprint it now.

The alt right dudes are going nuts again for nothing.
The problem is not that the book was reprinted, but the fact that the idea that promoting this book recently enjoyed great popularity. It seems to me that this pushes the migrant crisis and the rise number of attacks.

Explain me where you get that "fact" from?
The 2016 reprint is full of additional infos and comments.

Isnt it rather logical people bought it as a mean of historical research?
Else you would just buy the original or download it from the internet if you are a wannabe nazi.
To be fair extreme right ideas get more and more popularity...
But don't know if the "nazi" idea will come back.
I think it will take another form. They won't wake up the monster, they'll just create a new one.

I agree here.
Today you cant say far right = nazis anymore. We have people from all colors and ethnicities saying from themself that they are far right/alt-right. From slaves over blacks to jews and asians.

At least in Germany, the migrant crisis had no effect on the popularity of Nazism. The neo-Nazi party (Nationaldemokratische Partei Deutschlands or NPD) has seen its vote-share declining in the 2015/2016 elections.

They are voting AfD now.
A lot of their voter are either alt right or neo nazis

Why do we discuss Muslims migration, ideological crisis in Europe and potential danger of Islamization of Germany in this thread?

I thought this is thread about Mein Kampf's recent rise to popularity. And to be honest it is not as  big deal as many of you think.

Mein Kamp was alway available in .pdf version, anyone with internet access can download it for free from first google link.


Suddenly when book was printed is become sensational news, but I think people bought it mainly because it is scandalous book and it is "cool" to have something like this.



Yeah you could download it but it was illegal ^^

Indeed Mein Kampf isn't such a big deal now. But that's why it's interesting: the ideology behind might rise. That's why we discuss immigration and Islam here, because Mein Kampf in itself is both useless and without any importance. But all that surrounds the book is!

The Europeans don't want to do the great Europe. They think its great. For this reason, Europe is now suffering. Trump wants to make America great, and so how could he flirt with the enemy of America Russia?

The reason people look to Hitler as a leader is.

They are desperate and have little hope.

That won't be fixed by censorship or banning a book Hitler wrote.

The only way to fix it is to give people hope again, something to believe in.
Adolf Hitler was indeed a leader. He spoke words that people want to hear. Very similar to what Trump said during the election campaign. Here is the answer to your question. People are to blame that come to power by dictators.

Europeans want to make europe great again.

The same way Trump promises to make america great again.

People will follow a leader who can give them that.

I think the answer isn't to censor mein kampf.

But rather to give people the kind of real leadership and reform they desire.

Why don't you think that the migrant crisis in Europe has caused a large increase in right-wing nationalists. This is the growth of sales of this book. Hitler's ideas are still alive and offer simple solutions to national problems.

I don't understand that the german gouvernement allows the publication of Mein Kampf. But it's too incroyable that don't surprised the people after I thinks that there are just a little bit of people who share Hitler's opinion.

It's still too much
I met a German guy recently who's planning to buy a house here in Croatia (Istria) because he thinks Germany will become a khalifat

Let's not debate if it has any basis on actual facts, but this policy is driving Germans away from Germany and driving in foreigners

I mean, if we neglect this

Taking adult males capable of fightning away from Syria (if they're not ISIS supporters, which they apparently aren't since we're giving them asylum in EU) is helping ISIS

We're taking away those who need to fight against them, and pay them food,shelter, transport, social support etc.
Isn't it cheaper to buy them AK47s?
And won't it be more helpful long term to give weapons to those who FIGHT instead of to feed, store and move around a bunch of people with a literally no positive long term effect except for keeping them alive (and killing their countryman along the way, since all the war capable men went to Sweden).

You're argument is in a sense:
"We should better try to correct our past mistakes by helping the people in need to get back their freedom" right?
Yeah I agree, problem is that there is a reason why they no longer have their freedom. It's because WE took it away by financing, supplying and training terrorist groups.
You want to help them claim their land? Well maybe you shouldn't have taken it first...

Isn't it a bit too easy to say "ok guys I admit, we took your land destroyed your government and institutions but come on, now I regret let's take it whole back again k?"

USA played their part, they didn't "start" the war

But they armed ISIS

Which is enough to blame them

The US sold weapons (such as the much-feared BGM-71 TOW anti-tank missile) to its allies such as Qatar and Saudi Arabia. These allies passed on these weapons to the Free Syrian Army (FSA). When some of the FSA factions defected to the ISIS, these weapons ended up with the Caliphate. I don't think that you can blame the US for that.
Of course not. Russian accused of other. Americans are to blame for the fact that I did not tell the rebels man-portable air defence systems. Russian is to blame for that support Assad and interfere with Syria to develop. I'm not talking about bombing cities.
