Adolf Hitler's book Mein Kampf (My Struggle) ceases to be subject to copyright in Germany on December 31, 2015. What happens after the authorities lose the ability to control the publication and distribution of this text? The correspondent tells how the authors of a new program on BBC radio analyzed the possible consequences.

“They wanted to replace the Bible,” rare books expert Stefan Kellner says in a whisper in the silence of the state library of the state of Bavaria. He tells how the Nazis turned a rambling and unreadable scribble - part memoir, part propaganda slogan - into the cornerstone of the ideology of the Third Reich.

As soon as Bavaria ceases to be the copyright holder of Mein Kampf, theoretically anyone will be able to publish their own book. The authors of the BBC Radio 4 program tried to answer the question of what the authorities in Bavaria and Germany can do to minimize the damage to society from the distribution of the most odious book in the world.

The producer of the program "Print or Burn?", which aired on January 14, says that "Mein Kampf" is still a dangerous text. “The whole story of Hitler is a story of underestimation, and people also underestimated his book,” says John Murphy, whose grandfather produced the first complete translation of the book into English in 1936.

"There is good reason to take it seriously because it leaves a lot of room for interpretation. Although Hitler wrote it in the 1920s, he accomplished much of what he said in it. If only people had paid attention to it in time, they would probably be able to recognize the threat lurking in her,” Murphy thinks.

(John Murphy told the almost detective story of his grandfather James Murphy's translation of the book into. My grandfather worked as a journalist in Germany since the late 1920s. Not being a supporter of Nazism, he considered it necessary to acquaint the English-speaking public with Hitler's ideology. James Murphy was no stranger to mercantile considerations. At one time, the translation project enjoyed the support of Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels, who later lost interest in it. The translation remained in Germany when James left for England. The Reich authorities did not allow him to return. His wife Mary went to Germany and managed to obtain a copy of the book, which was kept by one of her husband’s secretaries. Mein Kampf was printed in English in Britain until 1942, when the press was bombed by the Germans in an air raid.James Murphy's translation was edited by Greta Lohrke, who during the war worked with her husband Adam, later executed by the Nazis, in the underground organization Red Chapel. James Murphy competed in absentia with the Americans, who were preparing their own version of the translation of Hitler's book into English. It was the American translation that became canonical. – Ed.)

Wedding gift

Hitler began writing (biographers claim that he dictated it to his Nazi accomplices Emil Maurice and Rudolf Hess - ed.) in the Landsberg prison after the failure of the Beer Hall Putsch of 1923. In it he outlined his racist and anti-Semitic views. Following Hitler's rise to power ten years later, his book became Nazi "holy scripture." Its total circulation in Germany was 12 million copies. The authorities gave it to newlyweds as a wedding gift, and luxurious editions with gold edges were kept in places of honor in the homes of Nazi bosses.

At the end of World War II, when American troops entered Munich, the Franz Eher-Verlag Publishing House, which owned the rights to Hitler's book, was in their hands. The rights to "Mein Kampf" and other heritage of the Fuhrer went to the Bavarian authorities. They ensured that the book was reprinted in Germany only under special circumstances. As the copyright expiration date approaches in December 2015, the debate over how to limit the ability of a book to be freely published to anyone at will is becoming increasingly fierce.

“The Bavarians used copyright to control reprints of Mein Kampf, but that control is coming to an end. So what happens then?” asks John Murphy. “The book is still dangerous. There are problems with neo-Nazis. And then there is the problem is that it is misinterpreted if not taken out of context.”

Self-instruction manual?

Some have expressed doubts that anyone would be willing to print it. As Sally McGrane, a journalist based in Berlin, wrote in her summer 2014 New Yorker article, “Defusing Mein Kampf,” “It is unlikely that most Germans would open the book. It is full of pompous speeches, the meaning of which is difficult to grasp, historical trifles, and muddy ideological intricacies. Neo-Nazis and serious historians alike shun it."

And at the same time, the book gained popularity in India among Hindu politicians with nationalistic inclinations. "It is considered a very significant self-help book," Atrayi Sen, who lectures on modern religious movements and conflicts at the University of Manchester in England, told the BBC. "If you take away the anti-Semitism from it, it becomes a book about the little man." , who, while in prison, dreamed of conquering the world, and then began to realize this dream."

What worries most those who oppose the book's republication is the prospect of it being taken out of its historical, political and ideological context. Ludwig Unger, a spokesman for the Bavarian Ministry of Education and Culture, said in the program “Print or Burn?”: “The result of the publication of this book was the murder of millions of people, millions were subjected to violence, war swept across vast territories. This must be remembered, and this is possible if "if certain passages are provided with appropriate critical comments from historians."

Demythologize the book

When the copyright expires, the Institute of Contemporary History in Munich plans to publish a new edition of Mein Kampf, in which the original text will be accompanied by sequential commentaries pointing out omissions and distortions of the truth. Some victims of Nazism oppose this approach. The Bavarian government withdrew its previously announced support for the project, having been criticized by Holocaust survivors.

(The institute’s website informs visitors about the progress of the public debate around Mein Kampf on a special page. The publication project has three main goals. Firstly, to demythologize the book, which is a historical document. Secondly, to carry out a scientific publication of the book with the involvement of experts in the field German studies, genetics, Jewish studies, Japanese studies, art history, economics and pedagogy. The third goal is to prevent any abuses, both ideological and propaganda, and commercial, with the help of a scientific publication.

Silencing the book and its contents is not the best tactic, says New York Times columnist Peter Ross Range. “Inoculation against the bacillus of Nazism will be more effective if it is carried out by directly confronting the younger generation with the words of Hitler himself. [This is better] than continuing to vilify his treatise, shrouded in a veil of taboo,” he wrote in the summer of 2014 in a column entitled “Must Do Germans read Mein Kampf?

John Murphy admits that a global ban on the book is impossible. "It's more about the viewpoint of the Bavarian authorities than about their ability to control the process. They have to take a stand, even if in the modern world they can't stop people from accessing [the book]."

Host of the program "Print or Burn?" Chris Bowlby argues that symbolic gestures still have meaning. After the expiration of copyright, Bavarian state authorities intend to prosecute those who try to incite racial hatred. "From our point of view, Hitler's ideology falls under the definition of incitement to hatred," says Ludwig Unger. "This is a dangerous book in the wrong hands."

In 1935, the National-Zeitung newspaper published in Basel published a series of ten articles in which the author Tete Harens Tetens wrote in detail about Hitler's plans for world conquest, which he deduced from the book Mein Kampf" ("My Struggle"). However, Tetens found it surprising that the German population did not consider Hitler's actions to be the embodiment of his grand plan, which he clearly formulated in his book. Tetens discovered a “red thread” that ran through all of Hitler’s foreign policy actions. But in doing so, he fell into a very small minority - a minority of people who not only read Mein Kampf, but also took this book seriously and realized its poignancy.

It still cannot be said that it is something self-evident to expect from Hitler’s 800-page “creation” with descriptions of orgies of hatred and other “pearls” that it will be an easy but educational read. But anyone who agrees to read this book, who is ready to share Hitler’s thoughts at least for a while instead of immediately rejecting them, gets the opportunity to look at Hitler from a completely different perspective. The reader will see that this is said by a man who is firmly convinced that he is fulfilling a historical mission. He will understand that Hitler’s ideas (even if erroneous) add up to a whole worldview.

No fundamental concessions!

And he will also understand that all of Hitler's - in fact, extremely systematized - actions ultimately served only to bring his worldview to life. There is a great connection in Mein Kampf: the connection between the worldview itself, the connection between domestic and foreign policy, the connection between the worldview and the program. Anyone who has seriously studied and understood this book will no longer share the popular belief that Hitler was an unprincipled opportunist who was merely reacting to a specific situation without a clear plan of action. Hitler clearly articulated the belief that a man who strives to achieve any great goal must be flexible when it comes to matters of minor importance.

In matters of principle, concessions were out of the question for him! It was always necessary to clearly distinguish between goals and means to achieve these goals. Hitler always agreed to concessions and adjusted to circumstances when it seemed appropriate to him - in order to be able to move towards his main goal. He did not consider open recognition of the pursuit of this main goal to be opportunism, because otherwise he might have scared away small spirits to whom his goal might seem too great. However, what Hitler expressed in his book is funny, and in a double sense: the author wrote about what he wanted to remain silent about, but potential readers did not perceive it, although they should have understood it.

Netanyahu: Hitler did not want to exterminate Jews

Haaretz 10/22/2015
What was Hitler's real goal? What was this great idea that he tried with all his might to realize? To understand what was the main driving force behind Hitler's actions, it is necessary to mention his diagnosis of modernity. In the mid-1920s, Hitler saw himself at the center of a world in decline. The Habsburg Empire fell apart and became mired in national strife. The culture, about which he, a German Austrian, said that it had the right to play a decisive role in the world, was ground into powder between two “millstones”: it was infringed on nationally - first of all, by the Slavic peoples, and socially, it was subjected to a most serious test of the strength of the new capitalist system.

Jewish conspiracy

And here, as Hitler believed, these two issues intersected: Marxist social democracy sets the socially declassed sections of society against their own fellow citizens, which further weakens the nation. Hitler concluded from this that the goal of the policy of National Socialism should be the systematization of social policy in order to once again unite the masses into a single nation.

Survive the fight

However, why for Hitler (see the title of the book) is struggle an integral part of human life? Struggle is a principle of nature, of which man is a part; it is in struggle that nature wins its right to the existence and development of the entire system. It is in struggle that order emerges—a prerequisite for survival. But struggle also influences progress because it makes those who struggle stronger and sorts out those who are unable to struggle.

A utopia like Marxism, which proclaims the end of all struggle and the onset of a peaceful and carefree life, according to Hitler, means the decline and decline of humanity. In fact, Hitler castigated everything that he considered Jewish - the entire process of modernization: democracy and socialism as phenomena of “equalization” and devaluation of the individual; capitalist economy, which turns everything into a subject of dirty machinations and is in no way tied to nationality; a hedonistic humility towards the world that no longer allows for high ideals and the capacity for self-sacrifice. Hitler opposed all this, presenting a worldview that put inequality in place of equality, idealism in place of materialism, and eternal struggle in place of eternal peace. He considered National Socialism as the main element of opposition to Marxism, in the eradication of which he saw his historical mission.

Domestic and foreign policy had to serve this purpose. Hitler's internal political plan of action assumed the gradual homogenization of the German people with the goal of their subsequent unity in the struggle and determination to take the final battle. This also included ideological education and training, political and social familiarization with the corresponding ideology, as well as racial “cleansing” of society.

The foreign policy plan of action provided for new (after the First World War) armament of Germany, the creation of various interstate associations and victory over the “eternal enemy” France, as well as the conquest of “living space” in the east - in Russia. If we compare the systematic nature of this plan of action with the systematic nature of its practical implementation, it is easy to see that they are strikingly identical.

Trouble starts with thinking

But why was the mass murder of Jews necessary? Why did Hitler fight the Jews differently than other peoples? Mein Kampf does not contain a direct answer to this question, but it can be speculated. Hitler believed that the thinking of the Jews was typical of the thinking of the ideologies he hated. They, in his opinion, despised the idea of ​​struggle, demoralized the fighters, because they dominated, but at the same time did not want to fight. First of all, Hitler sought to eradicate their thinking, considering it harmful to humanity. However, how can one eradicate a certain way of thinking throughout the world? His belief that this could be achieved by killing people who were supposed to be carriers of this thinking was definitely the most terrible option for dealing with thoughts.

Hitler managed to translate his thoughts into reality. Thus, we can safely say that every misfortune begins with thinking. However, it cannot be said that thinking can be destroyed by destroying people.

Barbara Zenpfennig teaches political theory and history of ideas at the University of Passau.

(“Mein Kampf” - “My Struggle”), a book by Hitler in which he outlined his political program in detail. In Hitler's Germany, Mein Kampf was considered the bible of National Socialism; it gained fame even before its publication, and many Germans believed that the Nazi leader was able to bring to life everything that he outlined on the pages of his book. Hitler wrote the first part of “Mein Kampf” in Landsberg prison, where he was serving a sentence for an attempted coup (see “Beer Hall Putsch” 1923). Many of his associates, including Goebbels, Gottfried Feder and Alfred Rosenberg, had already published pamphlets or books, and Hitler was eager to prove that, despite his lack of education, he was also capable of making his contribution to political philosophy. Since the stay of almost 40 Nazis in prison was easy and comfortable, Hitler spent many hours dictating the first part of the book to Emile Maurice and Rudolf Hess. The second part was written by him in 1925-27, after the re-establishment of the Nazi party.

Hitler originally entitled his book "Four and a half years of struggle against lies, stupidity and cowardice." However, publisher Max Aman, not satisfied with such a long title, shortened it to “My Struggle.” Loud, raw, pompous in style, the first version of the book was oversaturated with length, verbosity, indigestible phrases, and constant repetitions, which clearly revealed Hitler as a half-educated man. The German writer Lion Feuchtwanger noted thousands of grammatical errors in the original edition. Although many stylistic corrections were made in subsequent editions, the overall picture remained the same. Nevertheless, the book was a huge success and turned out to be very profitable. By 1932, 5.2 million copies were sold; it has been translated into 11 languages. When registering their marriage, all newlyweds in Germany were forced to purchase one copy of Mein Kampf. Huge circulations made Hitler a millionaire.

The main theme of the book was Hitler's racial doctrine. The Germans, he wrote, must recognize the superiority of the Aryan race and maintain racial purity. Their duty is to increase the size of the nation in order to fulfill their destiny - to achieve world domination. Despite the defeat in World War I, it is necessary to regain strength. Only in this way will the German nation be able to take its place as leader of humanity in the future.

Hitler described the Weimar Republic as “the greatest mistake of the 20th century,” “a monstrosity of life.” He outlined three main ideas about government. First of all, these are those who understand the state as simply a more or less voluntary community of people with the government at its head. This idea comes from the largest group - the “crazy”, who personify “state power” (StaatsautoritIt) and force the people to serve them, instead of serving the people themselves. An example is the Bavarian People's Party. The second, not so numerous group recognizes state power subject to certain conditions, such as “freedom”, “independence” and other human rights. These people expect that such a state will be able to function in such a way that everyone's wallet will be filled to capacity. This group is replenished mainly from among the German bourgeoisie, from liberal democrats. The third, weakest group places its hopes on the unity of all people speaking the same language. They hope to achieve national unity through language. The position of this group, controlled by the Nationalist Party, is the most precarious due to the obvious false manipulation. Some peoples of Austria, for example, will never be Germanized. A Negro or a Chinese can never become a German just because he speaks German fluently. “Germanization can only happen on land, not in language.” Nationality and race, Hitler continued, are in the blood, not in the language. The mixing of blood in the German state can be stopped only by removing from it everything inferior. Nothing good happened in the eastern regions of Germany, where Polish elements, as a result of mixing, polluted German blood. Germany found itself in a stupid position when it became widely believed in America that immigrants from Germany were all Germans. In fact, it was a “Jewish fake of the Germans.” Title of the original edition of Hitler's book, submitted to the Eher publishing house under the title "Four and a half years of struggle against lies, stupidity and cowardice" Title of the original edition of Hitler's book, submitted to the Eher publishing house under the title "Four and a half years of struggle against lies, stupidity and cowardice"

All three of these views on government are fundamentally false, Hitler wrote. They do not recognize the key factor that artificially created state power is based ultimately on racial foundations. The primary duty of the state is to preserve and maintain its racial foundations. “The fundamental concept is that the State has no boundaries, but implies them. This is precisely the precondition for the development of higher Kultur, but not the reason for it.

The reason lies solely in the existence of a race capable of perfecting its own Kultur." Hitler formulated seven points of “duties of the state”: 1. The concept of “race” must be placed in the center of attention. 2. It is necessary to maintain racial purity. 3. Introduce the practice of modern birth control as a priority. Those who are sick or weak should be prohibited from having children. The German nation must be prepared for future leadership. 4. Youth should be encouraged to take up sports to unprecedented levels of fitness. 5. It is necessary to make army service the final and highest school. 6. Special emphasis should be placed on teaching race in schools. 7. It is necessary to awaken patriotism and national pride among citizens.

Hitler never tired of preaching his ideology of racial nationalism. Echoing Huston Chamberlain, he wrote that the Aryan or Indo-European race and, above all, the Germanic or Teutonic race, are exactly the “chosen people” that the Jews spoke about, and on which the very existence of man on the planet depends. “Everything that we admire on this earth, be it achievements in science or technology, is the creation of the hands of a few nations and, probably, most likely, of one single race. All the achievements of our Kultur are the merit of this nation.” In his opinion, this only race is the Aryan. “History shows with utmost clarity that any mixing of Aryan blood with the blood of lower races leads to the degradation of the Kultur bearer. North America, whose vast population is composed of Germanic elements, and which is only in a small degree mixed with the lower, colored races, represents a model of civilization and Kultur, in contrast to Central or South America, where the Roman immigrants were largely assimilated with the native population. Germanized North America, by contrast, managed to remain “racially pure and unmixed.” Some country boy who doesn't understand racial laws can get himself into trouble. Hitler encouraged Germans to join the victory parade (Siegeszug) of the “chosen races.” It is enough to destroy the Aryan race on earth, and humanity will plunge into yawning darkness comparable to the Middle Ages.

Hitler divided all of humanity into three categories: the creators of civilization (Kulturbegr?nder), the bearers of civilization (KulturtrIger) and the destroyers of civilization (Kulturzerstirer). To the first group he included the Aryan race, that is, the Germanic and North American civilizations, as being of paramount importance. The gradual worldwide spread of the Aryan civilization up to the Japanese and other “morally dependent races” led to the creation of the second category - the bearers of civilization. Hitler included mainly the peoples of the East in this group. Only in appearance do the Japanese and other bearers of civilization remain Asians; in their inner essence they are Aryans. Hitler included Jews in the third category of destroyers of civilization.

Hitler repeated again that as soon as geniuses appear in the world, humanity will immediately classify among them the “race of geniuses” - the Aryans. Genius is an innate quality, since “it originates in the brain of a child.” By coming into contact with lower races, the Aryan subjugates them to his will. However, instead of keeping his blood pure, he began to mingle with the natives until he began to take on the spiritual and physical qualities of the lower race. The continuation of this mixing of blood would mean the destruction of the old civilization and the loss of the will to resist (Widerstandskraft), which belongs exclusively to those of pure blood. The Aryan race occupied its high place in civilization because it was aware of its destiny; the Aryan was always ready to sacrifice his life for the sake of other people. This fact shows who is the crown of the future of humanity and what is the “essence of sacrifice.”

Many pages of the book are devoted to Hitler's contemptuous attitude towards the Jews. “The sharp opposite of the Aryan is the Jew. Hardly any nation on earth possessed the instinct of self-preservation to the extent to which it was developed by the so-called. "chosen people" The Jews never had their own Kultur, they always borrowed it from others and developed their intellect by coming into contact with other peoples. Unlike the Aryans, the Jewish desire for self-preservation does not go beyond the personal.” The Jewish sense of “belonging” (Zusammengehirigkeitsgef?hl) is based on “a very primitive herd instinct.” The Jewish race was "downright selfish" and possessed only an imaginary Kultur. You don't have to be an idealist to be convinced of this. The Jews were not even a race of nomads, because the nomads at least had an idea of ​​the word “labor.”

In addition to hatred of Jews, Hitler did not ignore Marxism. He blamed the Marxists for the ongoing decomposition of national blood and the loss of national ideals in Germany. Marxism will suppress German nationalism until he, Hitler, takes on the role of savior.

Hitler attributed the diabolical influence of Marxism to Jews who would like to uproot “the bearers of the national intellect and make them slaves in their own country.” The most gruesome example of such efforts is Russia, where, as Hitler wrote, “thirty millions were allowed to starve to death in terrible agony, while educated Jews and stock market swindlers sought dominance over a great people.”

A racially pure people, Hitler wrote, could never be enslaved by Jews. Everything on earth can be corrected, any defeat can be turned into victory in the future. The revival of the German spirit will come if the blood of the German people is kept pure. Hitler explained the defeat of Germany in 1918 by racial reasons: 1914 was the last attempt of those interested in the national preservation of forces to resist the impending pacifist-Marxist deformation of the national state. What Germany needed was a “Teutonic state of the German nation.”

Hitler's economic theories set out in Mein Kampf completely repeat the doctrines of Gottfried Feder. National self-sufficiency and economic independence must replace international trade. The principle of autarky was based on the assumption that economic interests and the activities of economic leaders should be entirely subordinated to racial and national considerations. All countries of the world constantly raised tariff barriers to reduce imports to a minimum. Hitler recommended much more radical measures. Germany must cut itself off from the rest of Europe and achieve complete self-sufficiency. A sufficient amount of food for the existence of the Reich can be produced within its own borders or on the territory of the agricultural countries of Eastern Europe. Terrible economic upheaval would have occurred if Germany had not already been under extreme stress and had not become accustomed to it. The fight against international finance capital and loans became the main point of the program to achieve independence and freedom for Germany. The hard line of the National Socialists eliminated the need for forced labor (Zinsknechtschaft). Peasants, workers, bourgeoisie, large industrialists - the entire people were dependent on foreign capital. It is necessary to free the state and people from this dependence and create national state capitalism. The Reichsbank must be brought under government control. Money for all government programs such as hydropower development and road construction must be raised through the issuance of government interest-free bonds (Staatskassengutscheine). It is necessary to create construction companies and industrial banks that will provide interest-free loans. Any fortunes accumulated during the 1st World War should be considered acquired through criminal means. Profits received from military orders are subject to confiscation. Trade credits should be under government control. The entire system of industrial enterprises must be restructured in such a way as to ensure the participation of workers and employees in profits.

Old age pensions must be introduced. Large department stores such as Tietz, Karstadt and Wertheim should be converted into cooperatives and rented out to small traders.

In general, the arguments presented in Mein Kampf were negative in nature and were aimed at all dissatisfied elements in Germany. Hitler's views were strongly nationalistic, openly socialist and anti-democratic. In addition, he preached ardent anti-Semitism and attacked parliamentarism, Catholicism and Marxism.

They say that this book is now banned not only in “politically correct” Europe, but even in Russia, which supposedly “rose from its knees” (though only to get up on its feet...).

But precisely because this book is banned, it is necessary to read it - well, if not in order to broaden your horizons and improve your understanding of recent history, then at least simply in order to understand why exactly it was banned. An intelligent person has always differed from a ram precisely in that he could listen to anything, but at the same time form his own independent opinion about the subject. Therefore, there is absolutely no danger in reading this book for a thinking person (even if you are a Jew and your rabbi forbade you to read such books). This is a very interesting book that every educated person must read - regardless of whether he is a communist, a Jew, a cosmopolitan, a patriot, or a champion of so-called “democratic” values. This book and the way of thinking that it represents is, first of all, what served as the prerequisite for the outbreak of the Second World War, as a result of which the same old way of thinking (which was characteristic, by the way, not only of Hitler, but also of his political opponents, including the same Reds, and the same French and British) was killed and replaced by the so-called “new thinking”, which made a serious new war impossible precisely because of irreversible changes in the human mentality. So is it really possible that an official ban on this book by some “people’s representatives” can force an educated, free-thinking person to refuse to study the true causes of the Second World War and that previous way of thinking that was inherent in all people (including in the USSR) in the first half 20th century? Yes, this is just funny. Read this book with confidence and do not be burdened with slave complexes.

BRIEF INTRODUCTION

The first volume of Mein Kampf was written while its author was imprisoned in a Bavarian fortress. How did he get there and why? The answer to this question is very important. This was the hour of Germany's greatest humiliation, comparable only to the moment a century ago, when Napoleon dismembered the old German Empire and French soldiers occupied almost all of Germany.

My first encounter with the Social Democrats took place at the construction site where I was working. From the very beginning the relationship was very sad. My clothes were still in relative order, my language was polite and my whole behavior was reserved. I was still so wrapped up in myself that I didn't think much about my surroundings. I was looking for work only in order not to die of starvation and to have the opportunity, at least slowly and gradually, to continue my education.

Perhaps I would not have thought about my surroundings for a long time if already on the third or fourth day an event had not occurred that immediately forced me to take a position: I was invited to join the organization. My knowledge of the professional organization in those days was zero. I could then say nothing about either the expediency or inexpediency of its existence. But since I was told that I was obliged to join the organization, I rejected the offer. I motivated my answer by the fact that I do not yet understand the question, but I will not allow myself to be forced to take any step. Probably thanks to the first half of my motivation, I was not thrown out of the building right away. They probably hoped that in a few days they would be able to convince or intimidate me. In both cases they were fundamentally mistaken

Another two weeks passed, and now I could not bring myself to join the union, even if I wanted to. During these two weeks I became quite familiar with my surroundings. Now no force in the world could force me to join an organization whose representatives I had seen in such an unfavorable light during this time. The first days were hard for me. At lunchtime, some of the workers went to the nearest taverns, while others remained at the construction site and ate their meager lunch there. These were married workers, to whom their wives brought a liquid lunch here in shabby dishes. Towards the end of the week this second part became increasingly larger; Why? I realized this only later. Then political disputes began. I drank my bottle of milk and ate my piece of bread on the sidelines. Cautiously examining my surroundings, I pondered my unfortunate fate.

However, what I heard was more than enough. It often seemed to me that these gentlemen were deliberately gathering closer to me in order to force me to express this or that opinion. What I heard around me could only irritate me to the last degree. They rejected and cursed everything: the nation as an invention of capitalist “classes” - how often have I heard this word; the fatherland as a tool of the bourgeoisie for the exploitation of workers; the authority of laws as a means of oppressing the proletariat; school as an institution that educates slaves, as well as slave owners; religion as a means of deceiving a people doomed to exploitation; morality as a symbol of stupidity, sheep's patience, etc. In short, there was nothing pure and holy left in their mouths; everything, literally all of them, were dumped in terrible mud. At first I tried to remain silent, but in the end I could no longer remain silent. I began to speak out, I began to object.

Here, first of all, I had to make sure that until I myself had acquired sufficient knowledge and mastered the controversial issues, it was completely hopeless to convince anyone. Then I began to rummage through the sources from which they drew their dubious wisdom. I began to read book after book, brochure after brochure. But during construction, the debate became increasingly heated. Every day I performed better and better, because now I had more information about their own science than my opponents.

But very soon the day came when my opponents used that proven means, which of course most easily defeats reason: the terror of violence. Some of the leaders of my opponents gave me a choice: either immediately leave the building voluntarily, or they would throw me out of there. Since I was completely alone, and resistance was hopeless, I chose the first option and left the building, wise by experience. I left full of disgust, but at the same time the whole incident captured me so much that it became completely impossible for me to simply forget it all. No, I won't leave it like that. The first feeling of indignation was soon replaced again by a stubborn desire for further struggle. I decided, no matter what, to go to another building again. Need also prompted me to make this decision.

Several weeks passed, I used up all my meager reserves, and a relentless hunger drove me to action. Although against my will I had to go to the construction site. The game repeated itself again. The ending was the same as the first time. I remember that an internal struggle took place within me: are these really people, are they worthy of belonging to a great people? A painful question! For if we answer this question in the affirmative, then the struggle for nationality is simply not worth the work and the sacrifices that the best people have to make for such scoundrels. If we answer this question in the negative, then it turns out that our people are too poor in people.

In those days it seemed to me that this mass of people, who could not even be counted among the sons of the people, was growing threateningly, like an avalanche, and this gave me a heavy, restless feeling. With completely different feelings I now observed the mass demonstration of Viennese workers that was taking place these days for some reason. For two hours I stood and watched, with bated breath, this infinitely sized human worm, which for two hours crawled before my eyes.

Depressed by this spectacle, I finally left the square and went home. On the way, in the window of a tobacco shop, I saw the Workers' Newspaper, the central organ of the old Austrian Social Democracy. In one cheap folk cafe, where I often went to read newspapers, this organ was also always lying on the table. But until now I could not bring myself to hold this vile newspaper in my hands for more than 1-2 minutes, the whole tone of which acted on me like spiritual vitriol. Now, under the painful impression of the demonstration, some inner voice forced me to buy a newspaper and begin to read it thoroughly. In the evening I took steps to ensure that I received this 45 newspaper. And despite outbursts of anger and indignation, he now began to regularly delve into this concentrated lie. Reading the daily Social Democratic press, more than familiarity with its theoretical literature, allowed me to understand the course of ideas of Social Democracy and its inner essence. Indeed, what a big difference there is between this press and the purely theoretical literature of Social Democracy, where you will find a sea of ​​phrases about freedom, beauty and “dignity”, where there is no end to words about humanity and morality - and all this with the air of prophets, and all This is the brutally brutal language of everyday Social-Democrats. the press, working with the help of the lowest slander and the most masterly, monstrous lies. The theoretical press means stupid saints from the ranks of the middle and higher "intelligentsia", the daily press means the masses. For me personally, delving into this literature and press brought an even stronger sense of attachment to my people. What previously led to an impassable abyss has now become a reason for even greater love. Given this monstrous work of brain poisoning, only a fool can condemn those who fall victim to this deception. The more I acquired ideological independence over the next few years, the more my understanding of the internal reasons for the success of Social Democracy grew. Now I understood the full significance of the Social-Democracy's brutal demand that workers subscribe only to red newspapers, attend only red meetings, and read only red books. I now saw with my own eyes the practical results of this intolerant teaching with complete clarity.

The psyche of the broad masses is completely immune to the weak and half-hearted. A woman’s mental perception is less accessible to the arguments of abstract reason than to the indefinable instinctive desires for a force that complements her.

A woman is much more willing to submit to the strong than to subjugate the weak. And the masses love the ruler more than the one who asks them for something. The masses feel more satisfied with such a teaching, which does not tolerate anything other than the assumption of various liberal liberties.

For the most part, the masses do not know what to do with liberal freedoms, and even feel abandoned. The masses react just as little to the shamelessness of their spiritual terrorization by the Social Democrats as they do to the outrageous abuse of their human rights and freedom.

She has not the slightest idea of ​​the inner madness of the whole teaching; she sees 46 only the merciless force and the bestially rude expression of this force, before which she ultimately gives in.

If Social Democracy is opposed to a teaching that is more truthful, but carried out with the same force and bestial rudeness, this teaching will win, albeit after a difficult struggle. Less than two years had passed before the very doctrine of Social Democracy, as well as the technical means with which it carried it out, became completely clear to me. I understood well the shameless ideological terror that this party uses against the bourgeoisie, which is unable to resist it either physically or morally.

At this sign, a real cannonade of lies and slander begins against the enemy who at the moment seems more dangerous to Social Democracy, and this continues until the side under attack loses its nerve and, in order to get a break, it brings in sacrifice of one or another person most hated by Social Democracy. Fools! They won't really get any respite anyway. The game begins again and continues until the fear of these wild dogs paralyzes all will.

Do you still think that Hitler was right and the Jews are to blame for everything?

Then read this: 8

Ten Commandments. (Deuteronomy 5:6)

5And He said: 6I am Jehovah your God, who brought you out of Egypt, away from the land of slavery.

(1). 7You shall have no other gods besides Me.

(2). 8You shall not make for yourself an idol in the shape of anything that is in heaven above, or on the earth below, or in the waters under the earth. 9Do not bow down to them or serve them, for I, Jehovah your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the iniquity of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate Me, 10And showing mercy to a thousand generations of those who love Me and keep My commandments.

(3). 11Thou shalt not take the Name of Jehovah thy God in vain; for Jehovah will not leave unpunished anyone who takes His Name in vain.

(4). 12You shall keep the Sabbath day, keeping it holy, as Jehovah your God has commanded you. 13Six days you shall work, and do all your work; 14But the seventh day is the Sabbath of Jehovah your God. On this day you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your ox, nor your donkey, nor any of your livestock, nor the stranger within your gates. So that your servant and your maidservant can rest, just like you. 15Remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and that Jehovah your God brought you out from there with a mighty hand and an outstretched hand. Therefore Jehovah your God commanded you to keep the Sabbath day.

(5). 16Honor your father and your mother, as Jehovah your God commanded you, so that your days may be long, and that it may go well with you in the land that Jehovah your God is giving you.

(6). 17Thou shalt not kill.

(7). 18Thou shalt not commit adultery.

(8). 19Thou shalt not steal.

(9). 20You shall not bear false testimony against your neighbor.

(10). 21You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, and you shall not covet your neighbor’s house, nor his land, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything else that your neighbor has.

Be sure to note that “thou shalt not kill” means one’s own, and “thou shalt not steal” means one’s own. Which are in the Law. And those who are not in the Law - they themselves have refused the jurisdiction of it... Above is what the Almighty Creator requires from His servants. And below is what the Freemasons (who are not even “Jewish”) built for the Egyptian slaves:

Adolf Gitler:

The Jews have always represented a certain people with certain racial properties and have never been simply a religious community... Only the living conditions of the Jewish people, from an early age, prompted them to look for a means that would divert excessive attention from the sons of this people. What other means could seem more innocent and at the same time more expedient to the Jews than to hide under the guise of a religious community? Having arrogated to themselves the appearance of a religious community, the Jews again committed theft. In fact, Jews cannot represent a religious community, if only because they lack the necessary idealism for this, and thereby lack faith in any kind of afterlife. Meanwhile, any religion, as it is characteristic of the Aryans, requires precisely a certain belief in the afterlife. Look at the Talmud. - Is this book for the afterlife? No, this book is devoted exclusively to the question of how to practically create for yourself a better life in this best of all worlds. 272

In order to properly study the Jew, it is best to trace the path that he traveled over the centuries, nesting among other peoples. To get the necessary conclusions, it is enough to trace this with just one example. Since all Jewish development at all times was generally the same, no matter what people the Jews lived among, it is best to describe this development schematically. For simplicity, we will designate individual periods of development by letters of the alphabet. The first Jews appeared in Germany during the period of Roman advance. As always, they came as traders. In the thunder and storm of the great migration of peoples, the Jews seemed to disappear again. Therefore, the era of new penetration of Jews into the center and north of Europe must be considered from the time of the formation of the first German states. In all those cases where Jews penetrate among the Aryan peoples, we see in general the same picture of development. * * * a) As soon as the first places of stable settled life appear, Jews are suddenly right there. At first, Jews appear as traders, considering it still necessary to hide their nationality. The features of external racial difference between them and the people who show them hospitality are still too striking. The meaning of foreign languages ​​among Jews is still too little developed. On the other hand, the people themselves, who show them hospitality, are still too much of a closed whole. And as a result of all this, the Jew is forced to act openly as a trader and as a stranger. Given the dexterity of the Jew and the inexperience of the people from whom he seeks hospitality, for this period it is even beneficial for the Jew to speak out openly, for they are especially willing to meet a stranger halfway as a guest.

b) Then the Jews begin to gradually creep into economic life, acting not as producers, but exclusively as intermediaries. With their thousand-year trading experience and with the helplessness, as well as the boundless honesty of the Aryans, the Jews immediately gain a certain superiority, and in a short time all trade threatens to become a monopoly of the Jews. The Jew begins to act as a lender, and gives money only at usurious interest. Interest was invented by a Jew. At first, no one notices the dangers of usury. On the contrary, since a loan brings some relief at the beginning, everyone welcomes it. c) Then the Jew becomes sedentary. In other words, it has nestled in certain cities, towns, in certain neighborhoods and is increasingly forming a state within a state. He begins to consider trade and all financial matters in general as his own privilege, and he uses this privilege to the end. d) Then credit and trade became his complete monopoly. Jewish usury is beginning to generate some resistance. The increasing Jewish insolence breeds resentment, and the growth of his wealth breeds envy. The cup overflows when the Jew manages to make land the object of his trading operations. The Jew himself does not work on the land, he views it as an object of his greedy exploitation, leaving the Christian to continue to cultivate this land, so that the current ruler will squeeze the juices out of him. Thanks to this, open hatred of Jews arises. The Jews are already tyrannizing the people so much and sucking their blood out so much that things are reaching excesses. Now they are beginning to take a closer look at these strangers and are discovering more and more repulsive features in them. Eventually an impassable abyss is created. In years of especially severe need, patience comes to an end, and the masses of the people, devastated by the Jews, in desperation resort to self-help measures in order to somehow get rid of this scourge of God. For several centuries, the masses of the people have experienced the oppression of the Jews on their backs, and now they are beginning to understand that its mere existence is tantamount to a plague.

e) But now only the Jew truly begins to unfold. With the help of vile flattery, he crawls into government circles. He uses his money and secures new benefits for himself, giving him the opportunity to continue to rob. If popular anger against these leeches here or there leads to an outbreak, this nevertheless does not prevent the Jews, after a while, from appearing in the same place again and taking up the old thing again.

No amount of persecution can wean the Jews from their system of exploitation of people; no amount of persecution can save them from them for long. A short period of time passes, and the Jews, having not changed at all, are right there again. To avoid at least the worst, Jews are prohibited from acquiring land, so as not to allow moneylenders to also concentrate land funds in their hands. f) Since the power of the princes has increased during this time, Jews are now beginning to creep into this environment. New rulers are almost always in difficult financial circumstances. Jews willingly come to them for “Help” and for this they beg them for benefits and privileges. No matter how dearly a Jew may pay for these latter, interest and interest on interest will cover all his expenses in a short time. Like real leeches, the Jews stick to the body of the unfortunate people until the moment comes when the princes again need money, and then they release a little blood from the leech itself for their own benefit. After this, the game starts over. The role played by the so-called German princes is no better than the role of the Jews themselves. These gentlemen princes were a real punishment from God for their “beloved” peoples. The role of these gentlemen can only be compared with the role of other modern ministers. It is the German princes who we must thank for the fact that the German nation never managed to finally get rid of the Jewish danger. Unfortunately, nothing has changed in this regard in more recent times. Subsequently, the Jews themselves repaid the princes of this world a hundredfold for all the crimes that these rulers committed against their people. The princes of the world entered into an alliance with the devil and were punished rightly. g) Having entangled the lords of the princes, the Jews then lead them to death. Slowly but steadily, the position of the princes is weakening, for they stopped serving their people and began to think only about themselves. The Jews are well aware that the end of these rulers is near, and they, for their part, are only trying to speed up this end. The Jews themselves do everything possible to increase their need for money, for which they try to distract them from truly important tasks; crawling on their knees before them and lulling them with vile flattery, the Jews drag “their” princes into every conceivable vice, trying to make themselves as indispensable as possible in the eyes of their patrons. Relying on their diabolical art in everything related to money, the Jews most shamelessly suggest to their patrons ever new, ever more cruel means of pumping out the last penny from their subjects. Large funds, collected using the most brutal means, are wasted. Then the Jews come up with new means of robbing the people. Each court has its own “court Jews,” as these monsters came to be called. Their main function is to come up with new means of pumping money out of the people for the insane pleasures of the ruling clique. Who will be surprised after this that for such merits degenerates of the human race are still beginning to be elevated to the dignity of nobility. Of course, thanks to this, the institution of the nobility only becomes ridiculous, but the poison has successfully penetrated into this environment. Now Jews are even better at using their privileges to their advantage. In the end, a Jew only needs to be baptized, and he will receive all the rights and benefits of native citizens. He will willingly do this too. Representatives of the church will rejoice over the new conquered son of the church, and this “son” himself will rejoice over the successful gesheft. 275 h) Now a new period begins in the Jewish world. Until now, Jews were known as Jews, i.e. they did not try to pass themselves off as someone else, and this was impossible, since the racial traits of the Jews, on the one hand, and the peoples surrounding them, on the other, were still too sharply expressed. Even in the era of Frederick the Great, it could not have occurred to anyone to see in the Jews anything other than a “foreign” people. Goethe was also horrified at the thought that in the future the law would no longer prohibit marriages between Christians and Jews. But Goethe, God forbid, was not a reactionary or a friend of slavery. In Goethe only the voice of blood and common sense spoke. Despite all the shameful machinations of court circles, the people themselves instinctively saw the Jews as a foreign body and treated them accordingly. And now the time has come when all this was supposed to change. For more than a thousand years, Jews have studied the languages ​​of their host peoples to such an extent that they now decide to begin to obscure their Jewish origins and to begin to emphasize as strongly as possible that they are “Germans.” No matter how funny it may be, no matter how monstrous it may be, the Jews still have the audacity to declare themselves “Germans”, in this case “Germans”. The most vile deception imaginable begins. Of all the Germans, the Jew barely mastered only the ability to speak German, and even then in what a terrible German language. Only on this knowledge of the language does he base his belonging to the German people. But the real sign of belonging to a particular race lies solely in the blood, and not at all in the language. Jews know this best. That is why they preserve the purity of their own blood and do not at all attach much importance to the purity of their own language. A person can easily take on another language and use it with greater or lesser comfort. But even using a new language, he will express his old thoughts in it. The inner world of a person cannot change. This is best seen in the example of a Jew - he can speak a thousand languages ​​and still remains the same Jew.

His characteristics will remain the same as they were when he traded grain in ancient Rome two thousand years ago and spoke Latin, and as they are in our age when he speculates in flour and distorts the German language. The Jew remained the same. That other modern secret advisers and high-ranking police presidents cannot grasp this simple truth is not surprising. After all, you rarely find people so soulless and so devoid of any healthy instinct as other representatives of our “highest” spheres. The motives why Jews now decide to start posing as “Germans” are quite obvious. The Jews feel that the ground is beginning to slip away from under the feet of the princely rulers, and the Jews therefore begin to create a new platform for themselves in advance. Moreover, their financial power over our entire economy has already reached such proportions that, not having all the “state” rights, the Jews can no longer maintain the entire system; in any case, without this it is difficult for Jews to expand their influence further. But the Jew must retain the positions he has gained and achieve growth in his influence at all costs. The higher the Jews ascend in the ranks of power, the more they are drawn to their old cherished ultimate goal: achieving complete dominion over the entire world. The most far-sighted of the Jews notice that this goal is already very close. That is why now all the main efforts are aimed at winning for ourselves the fullness of “civil” rights. This is the real reason why the Jew is trying to get rid of the ghetto. i) So the “court Jew” slowly and gradually turned into an ordinary “folk Jew.” Of course the Jew will still try to remain surrounded by high gentlemen; he will be even more eager to penetrate this environment. But at the same time, another part of the Jewish race is doing everything possible to imitate the people. This task is not easy for Jews. Just remember how much the Jew sinned against the masses over the course of many centuries, how mercilessly the Jews sucked the last juice out of the masses, how gradually the masses learned to hate the Jew and see in him direct punishment from God). Yes, it is not an easy task to pose as a “friend of humanity” precisely in the eyes of those from whom the Jew has flayed his skin for centuries. The Jews now have to first take some steps that would at least a little make the masses forget about their previous crimes. Hence the fact that Jews are beginning to play the role of philanthropists and benefactors. They have very prosaic reasons for this, and therefore Jews do not at all have to be guided by the biblical rule - let the left hand not know what the right hand gives. Jews set themselves the task of letting as many people as possible know how close the Jew now takes to his heart the suffering of the masses and what enormous personal sacrifices he is ready to make in the interests of society. With his characteristic innate modesty, the Jew now rings out to the whole world about his own merits and does this until they really begin to believe him in this regard. Only very unjust people will now refuse to believe in the generosity of the Jews. Within a short time, Jews begin to manage to present the situation as if, in general, in all previous times they were treated only unfairly, and not the other way around. Especially stupid people begin to believe this and begin to express sincere sympathy for the poor, “unfortunate,” offended Jews. 277 Of course, one must keep in mind that for all his “generosity” the Jew does not forget himself even now. They are very good at counting. Jewish "good deeds" are very similar to the fertilizer that is used in agriculture. After all, the cost of fertilizer always pays off handsomely. But be that as it may, after a short time the whole world already knows that Jews have now turned into “benefactors and friends of humanity.” What a wonderful transformation, isn't it! That people must make certain sacrifices for others is, generally speaking, something we are used to. But when Jews make famous sacrifices, it cannot but plunge one into amazement, for no one ever expected this from them. That is why even the trifling donations of Jews are counted more towards them than to anyone else. Little of. Jews suddenly also become liberals and begin to dream out loud about the need for human progress. Gradually, Jews become the spokesmen for the aspirations of the entire new era. In fact, all the enlightened activities of the Jews are, of course, aimed at destroying all the foundations of truly generally useful economic work. Through the acquisition of shares, Jews smuggle their way into the circulation of the entire national production, transform our industry into a simple object of purchase and sale, and thus snatch a healthy base from under our enterprises. It is thanks to this activity of the Jews that internal alienation arises between employers and workers, which subsequently leads to a class split. Finally, through the stock exchange, Jewish influence reaches terrifying proportions. Jews are no longer only becoming the actual owners of our enterprises, but actual control over our entire national labor force is also transferred to them. In order to strengthen their political positions, Jews are now trying to do away with all racial and civil barriers that now hinder them at every step. To this end, Jews are now, with their characteristic tenacity, beginning the struggle for religious tolerance. Freemasonry, which is entirely in the hands of the Jews, serves as an excellent tool for them in the fraudulent struggle for these goals. Through the threads of Freemasonry, Jews entangle our government circles and the most economically and politically influential layers of the bourgeoisie, doing this so skillfully that those entangled do not even notice it. It is only difficult for Jews to entangle the entire people as such, or, more accurately, that class of them, which has just awakened to a new life and is preparing to fight for its own rights and freedom. This is how 278 times is now the main subject of concern for the Jews. Jews feel very well that they can finally achieve their goal only if, at the current stage of development, someone blazes a trail for them.

According to their calculations, the bourgeoisie, including the broadest layers of the petty bourgeoisie and petty people in general, would have to carry out this task. But you cannot catch glovers and weavers with the thin bait of Freemasonry; here you need simpler means, but at the same time just as effective. Such a tool in the hands of Jews is the press. With all tenacity, Jews take possession of the press, using every trick to achieve this. Having got the press in their hands, the Jews begin to systematically entangle the public life of the country; with the help of the press they can direct the matter in any direction and justify fraud. The power of so-called "public opinion" is now entirely in the hands of the Jews, and what this means is now well known. At the same time, the Jew invariably portrays the matter in such a way that he personally thirsts only for knowledge; he praises progress, but mostly only the kind of progress that leads others to destruction. In fact, the Jew always views knowledge and progress from the angle of their benefits only for Jewry. If he cannot benefit from them for the Jewish people, he will become the most merciless enemy and hater of science, culture, etc. Everything he learns in the schools of other nations, he uses all this exclusively in the interests of his own race. During this phase, Jews protect their own nationality more than ever before. Jews shout right and left about “enlightenment,” “progress,” “freedom,” “humanity,” etc., while at the same time they themselves strictly observe the purity of their race. True, they sometimes force their women to be wives of influential Christians, but as for men, they fundamentally do not allow marriages with other races. Jews willingly poison the temper of other nations, but, like the apple of their eye, they protect the purity of their own blood. A Jew almost never marries a Christian, but Christians often marry Jewish women. Thus, among the Jewish community there are no people of mixed blood. Part of our highest nobility is dying completely as a result of incest. The Jews are well aware of this, and they quite systematically resort to this method of “disarming” the ideological leadership of their racial opponents. To disguise all this and lull the attention of their victims, the Jews shout louder and louder about the need for equality of all people, regardless of race and skin color, and fools begin to believe them. But with all his features, the Jew still continues to repel the broad mass of people; he still smells like a stranger. And so, to satisfy the masses, the Jewish press begins to portray Jews in a way that is completely untrue, but at least evokes the ideas that Jews need. In this regard, the humorous press is especially characteristic. In humorous leaflets they always deliberately try to portray Jews as an extremely humble people. The reader is instilled with the idea that, perhaps, Jews have some comical traits, but in essence these people are good people who do not want to harm anyone. The reader is made to understand that, perhaps, some of the Jews really do not represent heroes, but in any case they do not represent any dangerous enemies. The ultimate goal of the Jews at this stage of development is the victory of democracy or, in their understanding, the dominance of parliamentarism. The parliamentary system best suits the needs of the Jews, for it excludes the role of the individual and puts quantity in its place, i.e. the power of stupidity, inability, cowardice. The end result of all this will be the overthrow of the monarchy. A little sooner or a little later, the monarchy will inevitably perish. j) Now the gigantic economic development of the country is leading to a new social stratification of the people. Small craft is slowly dying out, thanks to this the worker is increasingly losing the opportunity to earn his own food as an independent small producer; proletarianization is becoming increasingly obvious; the industrial “factory worker” emerges. The most characteristic feature of the latter is that throughout his life he will not be able to become an independent entrepreneur. He is the lowest in the true sense of the word. In his old age he has to suffer and remain without a secure piece of bread. We have seen a similar situation before. It was necessary to find a solution to the issue at all costs, and such a solution was indeed found. In addition to peasants and artisans, officials and employees also gradually found themselves in this situation. They too became the lowest in the true sense of the word. But the state found a way out of this by taking upon itself the care of those civil servants who themselves were not able to provide for their old age: the state introduced a pension. Gradually, private firms also followed this example, so that now almost every employee in our country is provided with a pension, as long as he works for a more or less large company. Only after we have ensured the old age of the civil servant can we again instill in him a feeling of boundless devotion to the state - that feeling which in pre-war times was the noblest feature of the German bureaucracy. 280 This clever measure snatched an entire class from the clutches of social poverty and thereby created a healthy relationship between this class and the rest of the nation. Now this question has been raised anew before the state and the nation, and on a much larger scale. More and more millions of people left the countryside and gradually moved to big cities, looking for a piece of bread as factory workers in new industrial enterprises. The general working and living conditions of this new class were more than sad. The very working environment was completely different from the previous environment of the artisan or peasant. The industrial factory worker had to strain his strength to a much greater extent than the artisan.

The length of the working day for an artisan was much less important than for a factory worker. If formally the worker’s working day remained even the same as before for the artisan, then a much more difficult situation was created for him (the worker). The artisan did not know the intensity of labor with which a factory worker now has to work. If earlier a craftsman could somehow come to terms with even a 14-15 hour working day, now this becomes completely intolerable for a factory worker, whose every minute is used in the most intense way. The senseless transfer of the previous working hours to modern factory production caused the greatest harm in two ways: firstly, it undermined the health of the workers, and secondly, the workers’ faith in the highest justice was undermined. To this we must add, on the one hand, a pitiful salary, and on the other hand, a relatively faster increase in the employer’s wealth. Previously, there could not have been a social problem in agriculture, because both the owner and the worker did the same work, and most importantly, they ate from the same bowl. Now, in this respect too, the situation has changed dramatically. Now in all areas of life the separation of the worker from the employer has finally taken place. The extent to which the Jewish spirit has penetrated our lives can best be seen from the lack of respect, or even outright contempt, with which we now regard physical labor. This has nothing to do with the German character. Only as alien, essentially Jewish influences began to penetrate into our lives, did the former respect for craft give way to a certain disdain for any physical labor. Thus a new, little-respected class arose among us; and one fine day the question inevitably had to arise: either the nation itself would find enough strength in itself to create completely healthy relationships between this class and the rest of society, or the class difference would turn into a class abyss. One thing is certain: this new class included far from the worst elements; in any case, the most energetic elements belonged to it. The excessive sophistication of so-called culture here could not yet produce its destructive work. The bulk of the new class had not yet been exposed to the pacifist poison; it possessed physical strength, and, if necessary, brutality. While the bourgeoisie passes by this highly important problem with complete carelessness and indifference, the Jews do not sleep. They immediately understood the enormous importance of this problem for the entire future. And so they do this: on the one hand, they inflame the exploitation of the workers to the most extreme limits, and on the other hand, they begin to curry favor with the victims of their own exploitation and within a short time win for themselves the role of leaders of the workers in the struggle of the latter against the employers. Thus, the Jews outwardly become, as it were, leaders of the struggle against themselves. In reality, this is, of course, not the case, because these virtuosos of lies, of course, always know how to place all the responsibility on others and portray themselves as innocent babies. Thanks to the fact that the Jews had the audacity to become the leaders of the struggle of the masses, it does not even occur to these latter that they are being deceived in the most vile way. And yet this was exactly the case. Before this new class had time to take shape properly, the Jews immediately saw that from this class they could make for themselves an instrument of their future plans. First the Jews used the bourgeoisie as their weapon against the feudal world, and then the worker as their weapon against the bourgeois world. Hiding behind the backs of the bourgeoisie, the Jew managed to win civil rights for himself. Now, exploiting the workers’ struggle for existence, the Jews hope, hiding behind the backs of this class, to finally establish their dominance over the earth. From now on, the worker has to actually fight only for the future of the Jewish people. Without realizing it, the worker has fallen into the power of the force against which, as it seems to him, he is fighting. The worker is led to believe that he is fighting against capital, but in fact he is forced to fight for capital. The Jews shout loudest of all about the need to fight against international capital, but in reality they are organizing a fight against the national economy. Ruining the national economy, the Jews hope to erect on its corpse the triumph of the international stock exchange. The Jews do this: Ingratiating themselves into the ranks of the workers, they hypocritically pretend to be their friends and pretend that they are terribly outraged by the severe suffering of the workers. In this way they gain the trust of the workers. Jews take the trouble to carefully study in all their concreteness all the real and imaginary hardships of the daily life of workers. Based on this knowledge of the entire concrete situation, the Jews with all their might begin to inflate the desire of the workers to change these conditions of existence. Every Aryan is known to have a deep desire for greater social justice. And so the Jews exploit this feeling in the most cunning way, gradually turning it into a feeling of hatred towards people who are richer and happier. In this way, the Jews manage to leave their mark and impart their worldview to the entire struggle of the workers for a better life. This is how Jews lay the foundation of the teachings of Marxism. Jews deliberately intertwine their Marxist preaching with a number of specific demands, which in themselves are quite fair from a social point of view. With this they immediately kill two birds with one stone. Firstly, in this way the Marxist teaching becomes widespread. And secondly, they repel many decent people from supporting these socially just demands precisely because these demands are accompanied by Marxist propaganda. Already thanks to this support, these demands begin to be viewed as unfair and completely impossible to fulfill. And indeed, under the cover of these purely social demands, Jews hide their diabolical intentions. Sometimes these intentions are quite brazenly spoken openly. The teachings of Marxism are a bizarre mixture of the reasonable and the most absurd inventions of the human mind. But at the same time, the Jew systematically makes sure that only the second part of this sermon, and in no case the first, finds application in living reality.

We could deal with the results of our defeats on the fronts in August 1918 jokingly. It was not these defeats that led to our collapse. Our collapse was prepared by the same force that prepared these defeats themselves. And she did this by systematically and systematically destroying the political and moral instincts of our people for many decades, depriving them of that without which there is no healthy and strong state. The old German Empire completely neglected the problem of race. By passing by this problem, the empire neglected that right, which alone is the basis for the existence of peoples.

Peoples who allow themselves to be deprived of the purity of their blood commit a sin against the will of Providence. And if a stronger people pushes them off the pedestal and takes their place, then one cannot see injustice in this, but on the contrary, one must see the triumph of right. If a given people does not want to maintain the purity of blood given to them by nature, then they have no right to complain later that they have lost their earthly existence. Everything on this earth can be fixed. Every defeat can become the father of a future victory. Each lost war can become the impetus for a new rise. Every disaster can cause a new influx of energy in people. Any oppression can become a source of new strength for a new revival. All this is possible as long as peoples maintain the purity of their blood. Only with the loss of blood purity is happiness lost forever. People are already falling down forever, and there is no way to eliminate the consequences of blood poisoning from the human body.

In nature, paradoxes are found at every step.

For example, cold rain in summer can even lower the relative humidity of the air, due to its cooling, and therefore the condensation of the moisture contained in it.

Politics and History in general consists of continuous paradoxes and contradictions that seem at first superficial glance.

When I read the Russian version of the famous book "Mein Kampf" I could not shake the feeling that it was written by an arrogant Ukrainian Jew, and not at all by a sentimental Austrian..

Turns of speech, clerical expressions, endless affirmative adverbs, constant meaningless jumps from one to another without any context. Finally, what amazed me most was how Hitler could write so openly about what he was going to do.
“conquer” Russia in the corresponding chapter, which was quoted by everyone as lazy as evidence. I thought how, on the one hand, Soviet propaganda portrays Hitler as a cunning and insidious aggressor who “treacherously” attacked the USSR for no reason at all, pretending to be a “sheep” while signing the Scriabin-Ribbentrop “non-aggression” pact, on the other hand took it and directly and openly wrote in black and white in the book “we are going to conquer Russia.”

That is, this seemed to me a big contradiction. Even if Hitler had the corresponding plans and dreams, it seemed to me that it was very unlikely that such a thing could have been written directly in a program book.

When I took the German original, it turned out that only the most approximate meaning was conveyed. Especially when you consider that you can say absolutely the same thing but in different words, and the meaning often changes to the opposite.

And most importantly, the word “conquest” is missing from the original chapter on Russia.
There we are only talking about the fact that Russia has been captured by Jewish bandits, who sooner or later, but inevitably, will bring Russia to total collapse and then Germany will have to pay attention to the vast spaces once controlled by the Russians.

And so it turned out. that I was right in my feelings. It turns out that the Russian translation of “Mein Kampf” was made by a prominent figure in the Bolshevik Party, a Ukrainian Jew, a native of Lvov, Karl Sobelson.

The Jewish Encyclopedia writes:

What does it have to do with the fact that under the Bolsheviks in the 30s, the translation of the publication (for the familiarization of the top party leadership, which had already managed to forget Aidish Deutsche (the native language of the majority of Ukrainian Jews)
The translation was entrusted to a Jew; this is not surprising.

It is not surprising that this Jewish criminal ended up dead, as did most of their company.
He was simply killed by other criminals. They put him in the zone, and there some “Trotskyist” prisoner slammed his head against the wall, etc. Even the Jewish Encyclopedia does not know where exactly this happened because at the place of death there is a “?”

After all, it is quite natural that after this gang took over Russia, they began to fight with each other.

Another funny thing. that all sorts of “nationalists” in modern Russia, as well as various kinds of semi-underground small publishing houses, did not even bother to pay a measly thousand bucks to some grandmother to do a normal translation, and not publish Radek’s work.

And these people are going to fight Jewish influence in Russia? They even publish Hitler’s book and read it in a Hebrew translation.

Actually, why would you be surprised? This is from the same opera when Christians, that is, people who worship Jewish gods, consider writings written by Jews and only Jews to be “sacred.” They honor every letter, dash and comma, and at the same time manage to be anti-Semitic.

As an illustration, I’ll just cite even the very beginning from the original and Radek’s (canonical) translation of Mein Kampf.

German original:

Als glückliche Bestimmung gilt es mir heute, daß das Schicksal mir zum Geburtsort gerade Braunau am Inn zuwies. Liegt doch dieses Städtchen an der Grenze jener zwei deutschen Staaten, deren Wiedervereinigung mindestens uns Jüngeren als eine mit allen Mitteln durchzuführende Lebensaufgabe erscheint!

Deutschösterreich muß wieder zurück zum großen deutschen Mutterlande, und zwar nicht aus Gründen irgendwelcher wirtschaftlicher Erwägungen heraus. Nein, nein: Auch wenn diese Vereinigung, wirtschaftlich gedacht, gleichgültig, ja selbst wenn sie schädlich wäre, sie möchte dennoch stattfinden. Gleiches Blut gehört in ein gemeinsames Reich. Das deutsche Volk besitzt so lange kein moralisches Recht zu kolonialpolitischer Tätigkeit, solange es nicht einmal seine eigenen Söhne in einen gemeinsamen Staat zu fassen vermag. Erst wenn des Reiches Grenze auch den letzten Deutschen umschließt, ohne mehr die Sicherheit seiner Ernährung bieten zu können, ersteht aus der Not des eigenen Volkes das moralische Recht zur Erwerbung fremden Grund und Bodens.

Radekovsky translation:

It now seems to me a happy omen that fate destined me to be born in the town of Braunau am Inn. After all, this town is located right on the border of two German states, the unification of which, at least to us young people, seemed and seems to be the cherished goal that must be achieved by all means.

German Austria must return to the fold of the great German metropolis at all costs, and not at all for economic reasons. No no. Even if this unification from an economic point of view were indifferent, moreover, even harmful, the unification is nevertheless necessary. Until the German people have united all their sons under one state, they have no moral right to strive for colonial expansion. Only after the German state includes within its borders the last German, only after it turns out that such a Germany is not able to adequately feed its entire population, does the emerging need give the people the moral right to acquire foreign lands

for example the word "Mutterlande" is formally translated as "Metropolis". However, in Russian the word "metropolis" has a different meaning - an antonym to "colony", and not to "foreign land".

In fact, Mutterlande is the mother land, Motherland, Fatherland, etc.

Where did Radek find the phrase “at any cost”? in a sentence;

"Deutschösterreich muß wieder zurück zum großen deutschen Mutterlande zwar nicht aus Gründen irgendwelcher wirtschaftlicher Erwägungen heraus"

He's not there

Offer Gleiches Blut gehört in ein gemeinsames Reich. "The same (common) blood needs a common state."

Radek made a slogan out of it, adding an exclamation mark at the end:
One blood - one state!

And similar tricks that make your trousers burst at every step.

Thus, MK begins with what Hitler writes about. that the Germans do not have any moral right to engage in imperialism as long as the German people are divided, moreover, imperialism makes sense only when the people are cramped within the borders; the land is simply physically unable to feed such a number of people.

How does it happen that in the MK at the end, Hitler directly writes about the “Conquest of Russia”?

And finally, the most famous from Radek:

We National Socialists quite deliberately put an end to the entire German foreign policy of the pre-war period. We want to return to the point where our old development was interrupted 600 years ago. We want to put a stop to the eternal German drive towards the south and west of Europe and definitely point our finger towards the territories located in the east. We are finally breaking with the colonial and trade policies of the pre-war era and are consciously moving towards a policy of conquering new lands in Europe.

When we talk about conquest new lands in Europe, we, of course, can primarily mean only Russia and those peripheral states that are subordinate to it.

Fate itself points its finger at us. Having delivered Russia into the hands of Bolshevism, fate deprived the Russian people of that intelligentsia on which its state existence had hitherto rested and which alone served as a guarantee of a certain strength of the state. It was not the state talents of the Slavs that gave strength and strength to the Russian state. Russia owed all this to the Germanic elements - an excellent example of the enormous state role that Germanic elements are capable of playing when acting within a lower race. This is how many powerful states on earth were created. More than once in history we have seen how peoples of a lower culture, led by the Germans as organizers, turned into powerful states and then remained firmly on their feet while the racial core of the Germans remained. For centuries, Russia lived off the German core in its upper strata of the population. Now this core has been completely destroyed. Jews took the place of the Germans. But just as the Russians cannot throw off the yoke of the Jews on their own, so the Jews alone are not able to keep this huge state under their control for long. The Jews themselves are by no means an element of organization, but rather a ferment of disorganization. This giant eastern state is inevitably doomed to destruction. All the prerequisites for this have already matured. The end of Jewish rule in Russia will also be the end of Russia as a state. Fate has destined us to witness such a catastrophe, which, better than anything else, will unconditionally confirm the correctness of our racial theory.


Here is the German text::

Damit ziehen wir Nationalsozialisten bewußt einen Strich unter die außenpolitische Richtung unserer Vorkriegszeit. Wir setzen dort an, wo man vor sechs Jahrhunderten endete. Wir stoppen den ewigen Germanenzug nach dem Süden und Westen Europas und weisen den Blick nach dem Land im Osten. Wir schließen endlich ab die Kolonial- und Handelspolitik der Vorkriegszeit und gehen über zur Bodenpolitik der Zukunft.

Russland

Das Schicksal selbst scheint uns hier einen Fingerzeig geben zu wollen. Indem es Rußland dem Bolschewismus überantwortete, raubte es dem russischen Volke jene Intelligenz, die bisher dessen staatlichen Bestand herbeiführte und garantierte. Denn die Organization eines russischen Staatsgebildes war nicht das Ergebnis der staatspolitischen Fähigkeiten des Slawentums in Rußland, sondern vielmehr nur ein wundervolles Beispiel für die staatenbildende Wirksamkeit des germanischen Elementes in einer minderwertigen Rasse. So sind zahlreiche mächtige Reiche der Erde geschaffen worden. Niedere Völker mit germanischen Organisatoren und Herren als Leiter derselben sind öfter als einmal zu gewaltigen Staatengebilden angeschwollen und blieben bestehen, solange der rassische Kern der bildenden Staatsrasse sich erhielt. Seit Jahrhunderten zehrte Rußland von diesem germanischen Kern seiner oberen leitenden Schichten. Er kann heute als fast restlos ausgerottet und ausgelöscht angesehen werden. An seine Stelle ist der Jude getreten. So unmöglich es dem Russen an sich ist, aus eigener Kraft das Joch der Juden abzuschütteln, so unmöglich ist es dem Juden, das mächtige Reich auf die Dauer zu erhalten. Er selbst ist kein Element der Organisation, sondern ein Ferment der Dekomposition. Das Riesenreich im Osten ist reif zum Zusammenbruch. Und das Ende der Judenherrschaft in Rußland wird auch das Ende Rußlands als Staat sein. Wir sind vom Schicksal ausersehen, Zeugen einer Kraftprobe zu werden, die die gewaltigste Bestätigung für die Richtigkeit der völkischen Rassentheorie sein wird.

Unsere Aufgabe, die Mission der nationalsozialistischen Bewegung, aber ist, unser eigenes Volk zu jener politischen Einsicht zu bringen, daß es sein Zukunftsziel nicht im berauschenden Eindruck eines neuen Alexanderzuges erfüllt sieht, sondern vielmehr in der emsigen Arbeit des utschen Pfluges, dem das Schwert nur den Boden zu geben hat.

Offer

Wenn wir aber heute in Europa von neuem Grund und Boden reden, können wir in erster Linie nur an Russland und die ihm untertanen Randstaaten denken.

Translated literally as

“When we talk in Europe today about new lands (in both meanings), we can first of all think about Russia and its subordinate outlying (Ukrainian) states.”

And where did Radek find the word “conquest” (Eroberung)? Hitler is politically correct enough to write directly about the “conquest” and even Russia.

And then it is explained why. Because it is written that such a huge state was created by the highest Germanic (“Aryan” in this context and not “German”) race, which is now being exterminated by the Jews with all its might. They deprived the Russian people of their intelligentsia, that is, the cultural elite, and themselves took their place (well, this is quite plausible since even Mein Kampf was translated into Russian by a Galician Jew)

That Russia will inevitably collapse and great prospects will open up for Germany in obtaining territories that can be colonized.

That is, the meaning of this paragraph is exactly the opposite. Hitler has absolutely no intention of arming himself to the teeth to “conquer” Russia. Hitler writes that it will fall apart on its own under the influence of the corrupting elements of the Jewish and other lower races.

Further. He writes that he does not need a new campaign by Alexander of Maekdon. He needs lands to feed the German population and nothing more. The sword is justified only when the plow no longer has room to turn. This is what MK is talking about.

Thus, the complete falsification of Soviet propaganda is completely obvious. It’s not for nothing that even Radek’s translation was not even close to accessible to Soviet people.
