Our Struggle: How the Racist Views of Mein Kampf Affect Us Today

"My Struggle" has long encouraged with it thoughts of hatred, racism, bigotry, envy, jealousy, murder, ultranationalism and imperialism - and with good reason. A brief overview of "My Struggle" demonstrates terrible sensationalism towards hatred, anti-Semitism, fear mongering, and a hard line, dedicated goal to force these ideals onto the world, at gunpoint if necessary. This alleged struggle is built upon the foundations of "Zionist conspiracies", just like those of the literary forgery of The Protocols of Zion.

The rhetoric in this "struggle" swept across the region and took the politics and people like a firestorm - rather than simply feel content with nearby Jews, whom were often looked upon with disdain for hundreds, if not thousands of years, it was fast becoming popular to hate them, and in many cases, call for a marginalization of their rights. Many others called for an open extermination of them - to pursue them wherever they sat in the world and to kill them where they found them.

Though it seems easy for modern observers to condemn the idea, the fierce nationalism and imperialism of the "struggle" was just too powerful, and the citizens, civilians, and military alike found themselves enthralled by the constant speeches and dominance of media with imagery of anti-Semitism and global domination. Words began to mean different things, and what's worse, communities were largely torn apart as calls for the annihilation of the Jewish race were heeded.

Ancient religious sects, not unlike the Teutonic Knighthood, were cited as sources for precedent and standard for this gross ultranationalism and anti-Semitism. The idea was not just resigned to the region of its foundation, however, as it spread to other nations, even deeply rooting itself in the United States. Major charity organizations were founded in favor of what the rest of the world should have seen for what it was, a genocidal, brutal regime bent on both global domination and intolerance.
