a real renaissance man.
first it was his art, now it’s his book, mein kampf. business students in india consider hitler’s manifesto a ”success story where one man can have a vision, work out a plan on how to implement it and then successfully complete it.”* the book has come into favor because of “the mutual influence of india and hitler’s nazis on one another. mahatma gandhi corresponded with the fuhrer, pro-independence leader subhas chandra bose’s indian national army allied with hitler’s germany and japan during the second world war, and the nazis drew on hindu symbolism for their swastika motif and ideas of aryan supremacy.”
india isn’t the only place where the book is selling like hot cakes. it sells in croatia, russia, and turkey too. in germany, the book is banned until 2015–until he’s been dead 70 years.
* i guess they skip over the part where dude killed himself when his plan went to hell in a hand-basket.
