Not that it's a good read, mind you, but familiarizing yourself with Hitler's views is advantageous when others try to tell you "what Hitler thought."

Exactly.

If you want to have a well-rounded and educated view on politics, you can't just stay within your own ideological box. Books like the Doctrine of Fascism, Mein Kampf, the Communist Manifesto, Man Economy and State, and What is Property (as a start), should all be required reading for anyone who wants to claim good and full knowledge of political theory.

There is no good excuse for banning books. I find censorship of literature to be horrific.

The only literature that should be banned are magazines with extreme frontal nudity.

Encouraged. I think you meant to say encouraged.

New Kereptica: Since power is changed energy over time, an increase in power would mean, in this case, an increase in energy. As energy is equivalent to mass and the density of the government is static, the volume of the government must increase.

Have you been to the Internet for more than five seconds? Titty mags are antiquated. If anything, they should be burned for trying to sell what a quick Google search nets for free. But not because of bare skin. That's ridiculous.

They already do that. Guess what? Didn't work. Didn't work during the '70s and doesn't work now. Teenagers are naturally inclined to be curious about sex. No amount of teaching and indoctrination will change that.

That said, we're threadjacking.

You'd better believe I'm a bitter Bernie Sanders supporter. The Dems fucked up and fucked up hard. Hopefully they'll learn that neoliberalism and maintaining the status quo isn't the way to win this election or any other one. I doubt they will, though.

Well, it's the scholarly edition of Mein Kampf right? I don't have a problem for that. There should be a scholarly edition of the Quran as well, for example with references and explanations from the Tasfirs. I think too many people think the Quran is the one stop shop for all Islam like the Bible.

And yet, hentai has indirectly killed people who were raped and then killed by sick perverts who got their pervertism from constant hentai watching.

Are...are you seriously saying that hentai has lead to more deaths than Christianity or it's teachings? And saying that hentai actually makes normal people engage in rape and murder? I would love to see a source that proves that the majority (almost all) of the thousands of religious fanatics that embarked on a Holy War did not do it for religious reasons.

Yeah, no. See, there is this thing called puberty that makes every human being curious about icky, nasty sex.
