Adolf Hitler Mein Kampf

Regime of German Nationalist

Written in 1924 Mein Kampf was Adolf Hitler’s manifesto describing and outlining

his future plans for Germany. It also discusses “My Struggle” which in turn humanizes

Hitler which appealed to readers. Adolf discusses “the power of state and its authority

is to uphold quiet and order.” (Adolf Hitler, Pg. 519) “State represents not an end but a

means and state is expected to create a race capable of culture” (Adolf Hitler, pg. 521)

In lecture its stated that fascists believe in nationalism, a hyper nationalism and that

strongly supports the Nazi party and the extremes they went to preserve Germans as

the superior race.

Some of the support Adolf Hitler gained was partially due to the depression

leaving many hungry and jobless they had anger helping unify Germans against Jews.

Fascists movements also portray a sense of community as stated in lecture thus helping

Hitler gain support. Remarque discussed the mentality of many and the damaging

effects of the war didn’t stay on the field. Germany just like many others were largely

effected by the war and the following pitfalls after such as the depression.

Over all Hitler wanted to Germanize the country. He believed the “nationality

wasn’t rooted in race but in blood. And those cultural energies would disappear “(Adolf

Hitler, pg. 520) These statement contrast nationalism while also taking into account

eugenics. He didn’t believe in mixing thus in his point of view Germans were not

culturally made.
 Similarities between Mein Kampf and Communism can be linked to establishing

a superior race. The National Socialist German Workers Party was definitely aligned

with the political right. Nazis were antisemitic and ani-Marxist. The overall ideology was

nationalist and anti-democratic. Communism can be linked to some nationality

tendencies while contrasting it is the anti-Marxist mentality seen in the Nazi Party.
