Author talk:Adolf Hitler
From Wikisource
You shouldn't publish the Mein Kampf German original (at least not without sidenotes): It is (without sidenotes) forbidden in Germany. And I think the Wiki servers are not supposed to become the possession of German nazis trying to read about an idol. Shall it?
- German law, in such case, is anti-freedom of speech, even if the speech here is easily one of the darkest books in the history of human literature. Should Wikisource give into to anti-freedom of speech laws that are imposed by a nation that apparently (not to be harshly critical here, but forced to say it outright) seems unable to find a way to stem a tide of National Socialism by means other than total outlawing of the original man's words? Likewise, if German Nazis were to undertake the task of reading "about an idol", or in fact read his own words, all they would need do is read Mein Kampf while ignoring said notes. The argument why not to have Hitler's words read raw is thus flawed. --4.224.108.156 20:51, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
- Likewise, for that matter, in this section should be included "Hitler's Second Book," written in 1928, at least for inclusion when 2015, 70 years past his death, rolls around. --4.224.108.156 20:54, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
- If someone has Mein Kampf to post here, they should by all means do it. That book arguably had more influence over the events of the 20th century than any other. It's a badly written book, aside from its hate-filled content, but if more people had read it after Hitler came to power, millions of lives might have been saved. He laid out exactly what he planned to do. If the Germans choose to deal with that part of their history by pretending it doesn't exist, that's their problem.
- Among us are people who will haveinfluence of ourfuture. Why forbidding them to learn on mistakes of those before them? The words written by hand of Hitler don't differ much from words written by people nowadays, and realizing it might be essential for peace in future. There are some radical ideas, which i support, and to my astonishment it turned out that either communists or nazis already invented such ideas, which in dramatical situation of 30' and 40's evolved into these mosthorrible human inventions. And this is the reason why i am studying the ideologies of people in past, and history in general - so i understand what is actually happening now, and what will happen in next years. Preventing people from reading Mein Kampf might only result in repetition of mistakes we already mnade. --szp
