Everyone can change your words after you are dead to fit into anything, even when you re alive.

I must have missed that part in Mein Kampf

[johnchandler]

Don't know what version of Mein Kampf this guy read, but I have 2 copies of the first unexpurgated English translation and don't remember AH saying he wanted world dominion. His goal was to destroy communism and conquer Soviet Russia to the Ural Mts. This was to be Germany's land based empire. He reasoned that the French Empire covered every continent in the eastern hemisphere and, as they bragged, the sun never set on the British Empire that they'd have no problem with the one he planned. Guess he never realized that the globalists counted on communism to issue in their world wide government and would defend it by any means necessary.

Haven't you heard, its a battle of words, and most of them are lies.

This dude is not a historian. Don’t listen to him. Read for yourself.

G. K. Chesterton put it best, blaming nationalism for one nation invading another is like saying a man who runs off with his neighbour's wife has a great respect for the institution of marriage.

That loop, whether intentional or not, was smooth. 👌

I like George Orwell's description of nationalism (from Notes on Nationalism):
By 'nationalism' I mean first of all the habit of assuming that human beings can be classified like insects and that whole blocks...can be confidently labelled 'good' or 'bad'. But secondly - and this is much more important - I mean the habit of identifying oneself with a single nation or other unit, placing it beyond good and evil and recognizing no other duty than that of advancing its interests. Nationalism is not to be confused with patriotism.

He defines patriotism as a devotion to a particular place or way of life which one believes to be best, but does not force unto others.
This is why he says that fans of a particular sports team and communists are just as much nationalistic as those who believe in imperialism. They want their opponents crushed and will only feel joy when that happens instead of feeling joy from engaging in the sport or from applying their ideological tenets to themselves.

Something tells me this guy would've worn a badge in Germany a while ago...

Nationalism is merely putting the interests of the home country ahead of the interests of other, which is clearly not happening in the USA with the illegals, but should be with existing deportation being enforced.😊

Why doesn't he recommend mein kampf ?
Surely it is important to read other views in order to gain understanding.

Media owners and facilities in universities want the one world government. Inspired by principalities who are on track with their goals.

[asazianonabsurdity]

Mein Kampf (The Ford Translation) is probably the most accurate to Hitler's true writing. It's quite ironic how, intentionally, misquoted he actually was....

[naeemsaley]

He’s lying through his teeth. He knows nobody is will ever go and check or read the book, but nice try😂😂😂

[Hiraghm]

the problem with national socialism wasn't the nationalism, it was the socialism.

[montrelouisebohon-harris]

Nationalism can be either this pro German or ethnic blood race or whatever or nationalism can just be a moderate conservative thing like patriotism and here in America American. Conservatives and moderates believe in any kind of nationalist populist to be patriotic and. Having an american flag and celebrating veterans day the fourth of july and memorial day. Do you know schools in America in some areas? Celebrate black american monk and prodmond but they don't celebrate memorial day or veterans day?? despicable!

[wormbo]

Nationalism SHOULD MEAN: A set of values that a person/people have chosen, that are beneficial, supportive and constructive for the nation they decide to call home.

*Not:* H!+lers big red "Wheel of friendship" flag to be flown on government flagpoles.

[ballenboy]

Yes he had plans to assimilate some(close to half of the peoples) of most areas he planned to conquer to be part of his future empire.

Victors write history. And after 2nd World war they gave us story you believe in now.

[thomasmaloney]

anybody ever read mein kampf all the way through? I tried 2 times and gave up. not a great real difference between Nazism and Communism in the extreme. Mussolini easily bounced from Communism to Fascism.
