“Race and People” is chapter 11 of “Mein Kampf” (1924), the book where Adolf Hitler lays out his political philosophy, 18 years before the Holocaust. In this chapter he talks about how history is best understood in terms of race:
The Aryan race, particularly that of Europe and North America, is the only one that brings civilization and progress to the world. All other races, like the Japanese, copy it and make unimportant changes to suit their taste. At best other races on their own can maintain fossilized civilizations that do not progress, but more often than not they sink back into darkness.
Throughout history, Aryans have taken over people of other races and bent them to their will to create civilization. Aryans create and direct, while others provide the muscle power (with the help of animals and, later, machines).
The secret of Aryan success is self-sacrifice. Where other races are sunk in self-interest, Aryans are willing to benefit their community rather than themselves.
Where Aryans often run into trouble, though, is mixing with other races. A superior race mixing with an inferior one is not only a sin against will of the Eternal Creator, it leads to mental and physical degeneration.
Just look at the sad state of Latin America, where Aryans freely mated with aborigines. Compare that to North America, where Aryans by and large have remained pure, becoming masters of the American continent.
Jews are not Aryans. They are monkey imitators. They cannot create a civilization or even a country of their own. They live off of other civilizations, destroying them from within like a disease. They make you think they are good Germans or good Frenchmen, but even when they convert, their Jewish character remains what it has always been down through the ages.
Jews are master manipulators, tricking others into doing what they want. They are full of lies. They talk of peace, justice and equality when what they truly want is to take over the world.
Jews came to Germany in Roman times as traders. Then bit by bit they became middle men then loan sharks then bankers to common people, then bankers to princes and kings. Now they control finance, trade, the stock market and the Freemasons. They control not just finance, creating class divisions – they also control the Marxist movement against it! On top of that, they control the press, shaping public opinion. They undermine Aryan religion, morals and culture.
Jews have weakened Germany so much that it lost the war in 1918. People need to wake up.
But far more damaging in the long run than any of that, Jews are trying to bastardize the Aryan race through seduction of Aryan girls and women, through intermarriage and bringing negroes into the Rhineland.
For as long as a people remain racially pure and are conscious of the treasure of their blood, they can never be overcome by the Jew. Never in this world can the Jew become master of any people except a bastardized people.

Thank you Abagond! Once in a while, we ned to be reminded of the exact terms of Hitler’s racism, because there are two types of present day followers: the ones who pretend “he was not that bad”, and the ones who adhere to the very same ideology, but will not express it plainly. At the moment, Germany is discussing whether Mein Kampf should be unbanned. I understand arguments against it, but the Germans really need to see in writing what Hitler did say, as it puts pay to people arguing that Hitler’s theories have been misrepresented. Of course, Mein Kampf cannot be compared to the Bible (whose importance I acknowledge although I am an atheist), but we must not forget that the Christian hierarchy was able to talk people into submission because most people could not understand the languages the Bible was in and believed what they were told. It is not right when only an elite has access to the original texts.

There are many reasons why a lot of Jews were into trade and money: in a lot of European countries, Jews were not allowed to own land. Plus, governments used them quite cynically BECAUSE: 1- Jews were part of a diaspora, 2-They were literate + kept their family ties. This means that they had commercially valuable connections.
The church used them cynically BECAUSE:1- Christians were not allowed to lend etc money (usury being a sin) but 2-Economies needed some form of finance, especially as they expanded internationally (from the Middle Ages, not just after Christopher Columbus and the Americas), and the Jews who needed to make a living and had connections, could step up to the plate. Plus, when the governments were hard up, they could incite pogroms and then take over the bankers’ assets…How things have changed, it seems to be the othr way round today!!!
THEN: the risk of pogroms meant that Jews regularly had to upsticks to save their lives. Knowledge is carried in one’s head (so a lot of Jews were in trades which could be re-located easily) and it is easier to carry the fruit of your labour if it is turned into gold or gems. According to the books I read, in some countries such as Greece, the Jews practically disappeared into the general population, because there were no heavy restrictions.
FINALLY: The Jewish problem is a European creation beause of the social restrictions of the Middle-ages, which included they had to dress differently by law! The current Israel problems are a European creation when France, the US, England decided to partition Palestine in 1948. The Jews never try to proselytise, in my experience (I lived with a Jewish family for a year) they are very open. A friend of mine whose mother is Irish and dad a Jew was always welcome and loved in her Jewish family, but (and it pains me to say this as I am part Breton) not very well treated by her Irish family.
As for the Japanese being “honorary whites”…The anglo-saxon “Every shade of pale” counts strikes again. If you have met Japanese, well, a lot of them are very pink. It’s more a question of facial features…calling Down Syndrom kids “mongoloidS” is an expression of contempt for otherness, as well as of how important facial features can be…leading to calling someone non-white, when it flies in the face of physical evidence, and when it should not matter anyway, as a lot of whiteys turn a nice toffee when in the sun.
Hitler’s opinions were based on his very limited knowledge of the world and of history. Sadly, a lot of people are just as limited. It’s education we all need, so thank you Abagond!!

@Kiwi,
I don’t agree with this. I believe the reverse is true (ie, it is the other way around). They gained prominent presence in those fields because they were “not quite white”, ie operating outside the white anglo mainstream and shared a social network outside the mainstream. Then after gaining some prominence, they could campaign for, even “buy” themselves into whiteness. The ultimate social prominence (and thus yielding political power) is becoming “white”, but only after acquiring some level of prominence otherwise first.
So, I think it is similar in the USA for many of the same reasons, not for “completely different” reasons.

As I tried to present in my previous comment, the jews were driven to finance etc by restrictions applied to their movements in society. Maybe there was some sort of darwinian selection, maybe it was nurture: growing up in a family of traders and bankers, you might acquire a lot of knowledge and an interest for these areas, but that’s what their offsprings ended up doing too. Nothing to do with the USA (see Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice). So, in a sense, it is all the more remarkable that there are artists etc…of Jewish origin, as it is not a financially rewarding area (generally) and may not have been encouraged much, but going into psychology and related areas makes sense, because a good salesperson needs to understand others.
I will never understand whiteness as it is understood by anglo-saxons. Nor will I understand anyone aspiring to be white other than for equality of opportunity. Better to change the wrld, frankly, and ensure this equality, because yu ain’t gonna change skin colour, and if you do, you find the goal post has moved and it’s your facial features that are the problem.

I just wanted to put my two cents in that, as even in Medieval Europe there were plenty of anti-Jewish sentiment to be found, certain avenues of employment were often closed off to Jews. Farming, for one, was out as they were not allowed to own land, and being Jews, they weren’t allowed to join Christian guilds either. Money lending / banking was one of the few professions open to them, and they tended to dominate the field
At certain points, though, it wasn’t only commoners who found themselves indebted to these Jewish money lenders but sometimes even European royalty as well. This occurrence of this of course caused (or, more than likely, increased) quite a bit of anti-Jewish sentiments on the part of the wealthy elite
This said, there is no doubt in my mind that it is from a long family history of “money lending” as a profession that so many American Jews are, and have been, involved in the US banking industry.

Something that always amused me about the whole concept of the “Aryan” superman was how closely the ideal archetype was patterned on recessive genetic traits (blonde hair, blue eyes, etc.) largely shared by those of Scandinavian origin and how said leader of these “Aryan” supermen had none of these traits.
Nevertheless, it spoke to those who honestly felt that they and others like them were the natural stewards and inheritors of the earth and that everyone else were just tools to be used in service of said stewards and inheritors. Given Germany’s perilous economic state, the Jews made the perfect scapegoat for venting the majority’s anger and frustration.

Considering how the Japanese, a homogeneous culture, have their own strong notions of their own superiority over other Asian groups (and dare I say, even over white Europeans at times) and at times enforced isolation against other cultures (in popular history, Commodore Perry was credited with cracking open the Japanese shell, albeit at gunpoint), perhaps there’s something there that whites admire about the Japanese, hence the “honorary white” status bestowed upon them at various junctures.
At least just as long as the Japanese don’t attempt to get “uppity” and strike out against other white nations to assert themselves as a meaningful power, as exhibited by World War II.

We made the same point at the same time, arguing in effect that the Jewish issue was created: the Jews were forced to behave in a certina way, then criticised/murdered for doing so. Not to mention christianity accusing them of having murdered Christ, when in fact, Israel was then in Roman hands and it’s the Romans’ affiliates who needed Jesus dead, as he was another instance of rebellion against Rome.
The Jews know all that, so it pains me very much that there is such a powerful part of Israeli government that will not grant Palestinians what Jews want for themselves, but all of that is because of decisions made by the US/France/The UK in 1948, so again, not just a Jewish problem.
@ Mack
Japanese did feel superior to Westerners until the end of WW2, and I am sure that some of them still do. I think that westerneres are so full of themselves they do not realise other cultures do feel superior to them, and why not?

Aside from all the myths and lies about white supremacy, I often wonder what it is about white people that make them think being white is all that and then some from the get go? It looks like a clear case of racial superiority complex that has been stoked for hundreds of years unchecked. When it has been shown that said “superior” race actually have recessive genetic traits that has been hyped to the heavens and back, there is clearly something not right when that race continues to believe in said hype.
Then again, when you’ve been coaxed into thinking that your people are God’s gift to mankind for a considerable amount of time, it’s hard not to consider that it could be all talk. When truths are presented that refute the lie, the people who believe in the lie consider the truth, not only true but harmful and destructive. The lie is the truth and the truth is the lie.

That makes sense. If Hitler had given any complex thought or done any research on Jesus, he could have found himself inconveniently obliged to consider the philosophy and lifestyle ascribed to Jesus.

Hitler’s propaganda was successful because the Germans were chafing under the punitive treaty of Versailles. The changes he brought must have seemed positive to the people living at the time. From a material and economic perspective he really did turn the country around. Unfortunately he also plunged Germany into another disastrous war.

@ Origin
How much the Treaty of Versailles hurt the german economy is disputed. Germany received as much foreign investment and aid, as it had to pay reparations. The damage of Versailles was more a mental one, because it humiliated the germans.
That the Nazis turned the economy around is a myth. It did recover after 1933 because of the recovering world economy and massive public employment. But Germany quickly was in huge debts, the Nazis planned from the beginning to let the counquered peoples of Europe pay the bill. So the old argument that Hitler did some good (like building highways) and saved the economy, and he just shouldn’t have started the war, is invalid. The war necessarily resulted from his peace-time policy.

I think you misunderstand. I’m not portraying the war as bad, just the fact that it ended up being disastrous for Germany. Simply put, how is payment of debt by conquered people Germany’s problem? Conquest always generates wealth. To the victor the spoils right? The problem was that the war came home to Germany. Had Hitler not lost, who would have written his history? The whole process of genocide and land-grabbing had been honed in North America, South America, and Australia. Today we view that process as a valiant ‘founding’ of the countries in which we live. At best, the history is viewed as a sort of regrettable necessity in the name of progress. The USA as we know it is a result of a process of expansion at the expense of the original inhabitants some of whom ended up in ‘reservations’. Germany, in the early 20th century, had a policy of extermination against the Herrero and Nama people in present-day Namibia. There were concentration camps and there was medical experimentation. We don’t hear so much about that.
So I have a balanced view of Hitler. It is true that he caused a lot of suffering while acting in accordance with his racist and nationalistic ideologies. But the shocking thing about him, from the perspective of Europeans, is that he performed his acts in the heart of Europe against people who had lived in Europe for many generations. Yet he was just doing, in Europe, what Europeans had been doing around the world during the 19th century: taking people’s land and working them to death while buttressing those actions with appropriate religious or scientific ideology. Hitler’s crimes are usually taken out of context so it’s easy for people to view him as a horrible exception. Yet, I see him as consistent with the general trajectory European collective activity on the world scene. With Hitler, the horror came home but in the larger context, it is just another tragedy arising from a perspective that values domination and control. So within this value system I’m not faulting him for planning or starting a war just for losing it and destroying his country.

Sadly, with the conflict in Israel there’s been a rise in antisemitism. There’s so much extremisn that things get lost in hustle. I believe the treatment of the Palestinians should be a civil rights issue in Israel, it would be more effective. The Palestinians are denied access to water and electricity, basic human rights, and in such a resource and technologically progressive country. The agreement for the land of Gaza wasn’t signed by the Palestinians, only Israel signed, so the agreement was never officiated. As many scholars have pointed out, this makes Gaza unclaimed territory. There’s nothing illegal about Israel’s expansion, that’s why I believe it’s a to approach the issues from that standpoint rather than civil rights for the Palestinian community.
