I admit, I was getting a little tired of being called Hitler by Ben Stein, Ann Coulter, Rev. Lively and other Dominionist rabbel.  I am completely gobsmacked that they are so completely ignorant of the actual man and his actual message, and how completely, vigorously, and explicitly it is opposed to the liberal/scientific/civic worldview.

Here's from the first chapter of the second volume of Mein Kampf:

The moment these artists in parliamentary government have the first glimmering of a suspicion that their darling public may be ready to kick up its heels and escape from the harness of the old party wagon they begin to paint the shafts with new colours. On such occasions the party astrologists and horoscope readers, the so-called 'experienced men' and 'experts', come forward. For the most part they are old parliamentary hands whose political schooling has furnished them with ample experience. They can remember former occasions when the masses showed signs of losing patience and they now diagnose the menace of a similar situation arising. Resorting to their old prescription, they form a 'committee'. They go around among the darling public and listen to what is being said. They dip their noses into the newspapers and gradually begin to scent what it is that their darlings, the broad masses, are wishing for, what they reject and what they are hoping for. The groups that belong to each trade or business, and even office employees, are carefully studied and their innermost desires are investigated. The 'malicious slogans' of the opposition from which danger is threatened are now suddenly looked upon as worthy of reconsideration, and it often happens that these slogans, to the great astonishment of those who originally coined and circulated them, now appear to be quite harmless and indeed are to be found among the dogmas of the old parties.
So the committees meet to revise the old programme and draw up a new one.

Take away the snarky cattiness, and what you've got is a long complaint about how representative government works:  "Oh, the parties become obsessed with helping themselves and forget who they're supposed to be serving, and then people have to get mad and make them pay attention." 

Frickin' duh.

That's why the founders had a distaste for parties.  But the fact of the matter is; that in a representative government similarly-minded people will form parties.  And those parties...like the government...have to be kept in line by the people they represent.  Whining about how proper citizenship in a representative government is hard, and you have to keep working to make it work.  What a big baby.  Man up and do it.  That’s like saying your car is broken because you have to keep steering it.

This is where McCain had it the most right last night.  And if you saw the cameras panning the crowd, you could see many individual that DID NOT like it.  Party politics are inevitable, but it is up to the people to keep them from eclipsing the good of the nation…just as it is the people’s job to keep the government working for them rather than for itself, and you do it by staying informed and voting and speaking, and not accepting bullshit.

Hitler was a big whiny baby...but he has a plan.  Do away with Democracy, and you can REALLY fight Marxism!  (By which he appears to mean market socialism...not communism.  He REALLY didn't like the idea that a society that needs things it doesn't have should, through it's government, trade and negotiate and enter into diplomacy with countries that have the needed materials and make agreements with them.  Also, forget about figuring out how society can live within its means.  The society should, instead use millitary force to go get them.)

So let's say Germany needed oil.  Having to deal with countries that have oil and get them to hand it over through economic (Marxist) means by managing trade through the government, which has collective bargaining power, the government under Hitler would go and take the oil needed.  (Forget about conserving or trying to reduce demand) Because the chosen people of God needed it (he spent much of Volume one establishing the case for the Aryan people as being God's chosen winners in the struggle - the microevolutionary struggle where the species of man can "evolve" within the species, but clearly...the species of man did not evolve from an ancestor in common with non-human animals.  This is important, because for Hitler the natural order was an inflexible one ordained by God, with man at the top, and with the Aryan race above all other kinds of men.  Being the result of "random chance" would not give the Aryans the God-given right to take what they (in his mind) needed to survive.) 

It might be also convenient to come up with some excuse for why the people you're running over in the process deserve it.  'cause Hitler has noted in Vol. I that civilized people don't enjoy this sort of thing, but he argued it is necessary.  For survival.  The political and economic models have failed (because you have to keep fixing them).

Scarcely anything else can be so depressing as to watch this process in sober reality and to be the eyewitness of this repeatedly recurring fraud. On a spiritual training ground of that kind it is not possible for the bourgeois forces to develop the strength which is necessary to carry on the fight against the organized might of Marxism.

Basically, if you’re tired of politics as usual, tired of repeatedly having to control your government, then sign on with us!  We'll take care of it!  What we need is a whole new approach!  You're tired of having the same old process where you have to keep participating and making your elected officials pay attention to you and keep them honest and stuff, we'll fix it!

At a time in which the one side, armed with all the fighting power that springs from a systematic conception of life – even though it be criminal in a thousand ways – makes an attack against the established order the other side will be able to resist when it draws its strength from a new faith, which in our case is a political faith. This faith must supersede the weak and cowardly command to defend. In its stead we must raise the battle-cry of a courageous and ruthless attack. Our present movement is accused, especially by the so-called national bourgeois cabinet ministers – the Bavarian representatives of the Centre, for example – of heading towards a revolution. We have one answer to give to those political pigmies. We say to them: We are trying to make up for that which you, in your criminal stupidity, have failed to carry out. By your parliamentarian jobbing you have helped to drag the nation into ruin. But we, by our aggressive policy, are setting up a new philosophy of life which we shall defend with indomitable devotion. Thus we are building the steps on which our nation once again may ascend to the temple of freedom.

See,  what he’s saying is that the "Marxists” have this systematic approach to life based in the idea that it is governed by predictable natural processes.  And that has made them corrupt, because they violate the old view of life which was mystical and had heart and…whatever…so the traditional way of life has to be energized by a “new” philosophy of government.  To preserve what’s old against what’s new, you have to be newer yet.

Shorter Hitler:  There are times when people have to put effort into maintaining their civil society, but they get tired of doing it.  So when those times of testing come along and effort is required, it is time to propose change.

And if someone comes along and suggests changes…you have to suggest something changier...but you have to leave some things the same:

1)     Sound Religious Doctrine:

By helping to lift the human being above the level of mere animal existence, Faith really contributes to consolidate and safeguard its own existence. Taking humanity as it exists today and taking into consideration the fact that the religious beliefs which it generally holds and which have been consolidated through our education, so that they serve as moral standards in practical life, if we should now abolish religious teaching and not replace it by anything of equal value the result would be that the foundations of human existence would be seriously shaken. We may safely say that man does not live merely to serve higher ideals, but that these ideals, in their turn, furnish the necessary conditions of his existence as a human being. And thus the circle is closed.
Of course, the word 'religious' implies some ideas and beliefs that are fundamental. Among these we may reckon the belief in the immortality of the soul, its future existence in eternity, the belief in the existence of a Higher Being, and so on. But all these ideas, no matter how firmly the individual believes in them, may be critically analysed by any person and accepted or rejected accordingly, until the emotional concept or yearning has been transformed into an active service that is governed by a clearly defined doctrinal faith. Such a faith furnishes the practical outlet for religious feeling to express itself and thus opens the way through which it can be put into practice.
Without a clearly defined belief, the religious feeling would not only be worthless for the purposes of human existence but even might contribute towards a general disorganization, on account of its vague and multifarious tendencies.

2)      Identity:

To take abstract and general principles, derived from a philosophy which is based on a solid foundation of truth, and transform them into a militant community whose members have the same political faith – a community which is precisely defined, rigidly organized, of one mind and one will – such a transformation is the most important task of all; for the possibility of successfully carrying out the idea is dependent on the successful fulfilment of that task.

 Out of the army of millions who feel the truth of these ideas, and even may understand them to some extent, one man must arise. This man must have the gift of being able to expound general ideas in a clear and definite form, and, from the world of vague ideas shimmering before the minds of the masses, he must formulate principles that will be as clear-cut and firm as granite. He must fight for these principles as the only true ones, until a solid rock of common faith and common will emerges above the troubled waves of vagrant ideas.
The general justification of such action is to be sought in the necessity for it and the individual will be justified by his success.

3)      Appeals to individualism, and rejection of “statism”.

The current political conception of the world is that the State, though it possesses a creative force which can build up civilizations, has nothing in common with the concept of race as the foundation of the State. The State is considered rather as something which has resulted from economic necessity, or, at best, the natural outcome of the play of political forces and impulses. Such a conception of the foundations of the State, together with all its logical consequences, not only ignores the primordial racial forces that underlie the State, but it also leads to a policy in which the importance of the individual is minimized. If it be denied that races differ from one another in their powers of cultural creativeness, then this same erroneous notion must necessarily influence our estimation of the value of the individual. The assumption that all races are alike leads to the assumption that nations and individuals are equal to one another.

This is important, because after all, he believes that government doesn’t work, is inherently flawed, and so any “solution” MUST require that the state be minimized and the individual elevated.  As long as the individual subscribes to the necessary philosophy, or at least supports it.  (For instance, it is not necessary for you to be a Christian as long as you recognize that the nation is a Christian nation, and support the supremacy of Christian principles in civic life).

The primacy of the god-ordered world is argued here:

Over against all this, the völkisch concept of the world recognizes that the primordial racial elements are of the greatest significance for mankind. In principle, the State is looked upon only as a means to an end and this end is the conservation of the racial characteristics of mankind. Therefore on the völkisch principle we cannot admit that one race is equal to another. By recognizing that they are different, the völkisch concept separates mankind into races of superior and inferior quality. On the basis of this recognition it feels bound in conformity with the eternal Will that dominates the universe, to postulate the victory of the better and stronger and the subordination of the inferior and weaker. And so it pays homage to the truth that the principle underlying all Nature's operations is the aristocratic principle and it believes that this law holds good even down to the last individual organism. It selects individual values from the mass and thus operates as an organizing principle, whereas Marxism acts as a disintegrating solvent. The völkisch belief holds that humanity must have its ideals, because ideals are a necessary condition of human existence itself.

The idea that natural processes organize the world is anathema to Hitler, because it inevitably leads to socialism.  If the world functions mechanistically, and there is no divine will directing it, then you cannot say that one thing is better than another.  One action is not more moral than another, one idea is not better than another, and one race is not better than another.  The order in nature had to be, in Hitler’s mind, the result of an intelligent, moral creator.  The actions of nature had to have moral value for his concepts to work.

(Incidentally, another reason Darwin ended up on the bonfires is the sentence that follows the one above:

But, on the other hand, it denies that an ethical ideal has the right to prevail if it endangers the existence of a race that is the standard-bearer of a higher ethical ideal. For in a world which would be composed of mongrels and negroids all ideals of human beauty and nobility and all hopes of an idealized future for our humanity would be lost forever.

Darwin repeatedly and energetically rejected the idea that human morality should be trumped by natural processes.  Because he recognized those morals as being an inherent and natural part of humanity…and therefore a SURVIVAL TRAIT. )

I’ll just leave you with the last couple of paragraphs of Chapter 1 of Volume II of Mein Kampf:

It is self-evident that so general a statement of the meaningful content of a folkish philosophy can be easily interpreted in a thousand different ways. As a matter of fact there is scarcely one of our recent political movements that does not refer at some point to this conception of the world. But the fact that this conception of the world still maintains its independent existence in face of all the others proves that their ways of looking at life are quite difierent from this. Thus the Marxist conception, directed by a central organization endowed with supreme authority, is opposed by a motley crew of opinions which is not very impressive in face of the solid phalanx presented by the enemy. Victory cannot be achieved with such weak weapons. Only when the international idea, politically organized by Marxism, is confronted by the folk idea, equally well organized in a systematic way and equally well led – only then will the fighting energy in the one camp be able to meet that of the other on an equal footing; and victory will be found on the side of eternal truth.
But a general conception of life can never be given an organic embodiment until it is precisely and definitely formulated. The function which dogma fulfils in religious belief is parallel to the function which party principles fulfil for a political party which is in the process of being built up.
Therefore, for the conception of life that is based on the folk idea it is necessary that an instrument be forged which can be used in fighting for this ideal, similar to the Marxist party organization which clears the way for internationalism.
This is the goal pursued by the National Socialist German Workers' Party.
The folk conception must therefore be definitely formulated so that it may be organically incorporated in the party. That is a necessary prerequisite for the success of this idea. And that it is so is very clearly proved even by the indirect acknowledgment of those who oppose such an amalgamation of the folk idea with party principles. The very people who never tire of insisting again and again that the conception of life based on the folk idea can never be the exclusive property of a single group, because it lies dormant or 'lives' in myriads of hearts, only confirm by their own statements the simple fact that the general presence of such ideas in the hearts of millions of men has not proved sufficient to impede the victory of the opposing ideas, which are championed by a political party organized on the principle of class conflict. If that were not so, the German people ought already to have gained a gigantic victory instead of finding themselves on the brink of the abyss. The international ideology achieved success because it was organized in a militant political party which was always ready to take the offensive. If hitherto the ideas opposed to the international concept have had to give way before the latter the reason is that they lacked a united front to fight for their cause. A doctrine which forms a definite outlook on life cannot struggle and triumph by allowing the right of free interpretation of its general teaching, but only by defining that teaching in certain articles of faith that have to be accepted and incorporating it in a political organization.
Therefore I considered it my special duty to extract from the extensive but vague contents of a general world view the ideas which were essential and give them a more or less dogmatic form. Because of their precise and clear meaning, these ideas are suited to the purpose of uniting in a common front all those who are ready to accept them as principles. In other words: The National Socialist German Workers' Party extracts the essential principles from the general conception of the world which is based on the folk idea. On these principles it establishes a political doctrine which takes into account the practical realities of the day, the nature of the times, the available human material and all its deficiencies. Through this political doctrine it is possible to bring great masses of the people into an organization which is constructed as rigidly as it could be. Such an organization is the main preliminary that is necessary for the final triumph of this world view.
