I have no idea how to address that aspect. I am sure many people try to make a new law to forbid "Mein Kampf", but others want to make a "annotated" version of the book. Let's see.
- nnq 13y agoIt definitely needs an "annotated version" as it references so much historical context that is completely unfamiliar to modern readers (so unfamiliar that most can't even separate referenced historic facts from delusions and from delusional interpretations of AH - I know I can't so that's why I never finished reading it as I should have researched too much referenced history to make sense of it). It's basically useless even as a propaganda material for modern neonazies (even they can write better copy now!), except as a bookshelf decorator (I have an edition with a pretty picture of a smiling AH among a group of happy children - it really creeps me out so it's obviously at the bottom of a dusty cabinet of historical books, but some of other views might put it to an aesthetic use :) ).
