Mein Kampf

This was the time of the greatest upheaval which my spirit ever went through. I had turned from a weakly cosmopolitan into a fanatical anti-Semite.

Only once more—the last time—uneasy and oppressive thoughts came to me in my profound anxiety.

I had scrutinized the work of the Jewish people through long periods of human history, and suddenly I was struck by the alarming question whether, for reasons unknown to us pitiable human beings, inscrutable Fate had not inalterably determined upon the final victory of this little people. It is a people which lives for this earth alone; could they have been promised the earth as their reward?

Have we an objective right to fight for self-preservation, or has even this only a subjective basis in ourselves?

I buried myself in the teachings of Marxism, and thus gave calm, clear consideration to the work of the Jewish people; and Fate itself gave me my answer.

The Jewish doctrine of Marxism denies the aristocratic principle of Nature, and sets mass and dead weight of numbers in place of the eternal privilege of strength and power. Thus it denies the value of personality in man, disputes the significance of nation and race, and so deprives mankind of the essentials of its survival and civilization. Marxism as a foundation of the universe would be the end of any order conceivable to man. And as the result of applying such a law in this greatest recognizable organism could only be chaos, so on earth would their own destruction be the only result for the inhabitants of this planet. If by help of his Marxist faith the Jew conquers the peoples of this world, his crown will be the burial wreath of mankind; our planet will again move uninhabited through the ether, as it did millions of years ago.

Eternal Nature takes implacable revenge for violation of her commandments.

Thus I believe I am acting today in the spirit of the Almighty Creator: by resisting the Jew I am fighting for the Lord’s work.
