Hahaha... and apparently Mein Kampf has a manga.

Reminds me of a comic I once saw where Hitler and Stalin were fighting like Dragon Ball Z characters.

I wanna say it was a Russian comic.



I just wanted to add that you also have the manga (Adolf) from Osamu Tezuka (God of manga, Astroboy probably his most well known creation).

It tells a story during WWII about three different viewpoints from characters who's names are adolf. A must for every manga fan who love to read more mature stuff.

It'd give an insight into one of the most well known (and certainly the most infamous) people of the 20th century.

From what I've heard it's badly written and really boring.

 


Well, people could hardly call it brilliant, interesting, and insightful now could they?

 

Hitler has some popularity and following in the Muslim world, as some of them tend to agree with his views on Jews.



Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.

Boring is not the opposite of insightful. It's possible to be very interested in something which you don't agree with, even with something that horrifies you. Otherwise why do people watch horror movies?

There used to be a "Hitler bar" here in Busan (South Korea) with a big picture of him on the front and some swastikas. Apparently the guy just thought "hey, he's a very famous person, it might be popular with the kids" and didn't understand the difference between Hitler and other infamous people like Atilla the Hun.

Needless to say, he had a problem with foreigners coming in and yelling at him, so he eventually painted over the Hitler picture and changed the name of the bar to... "Ditler". That business went under pretty quick.



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

There is a communist themed bar in my town. There are pictures of hammers and sickles, backwards letters, pictures of various communists and their speciality drink is vodka... It's a pretty funky place, but I never go there and I don't know anyone that does.

Jew hating and WWII aside, Hitler did transform a broken bankrupt Germany back into an econmic world power in short order. I suppose some countries think they could put to use some of his ideas that don't include concentration camps and world wars. Liberals seem to forget that Hitler was a Socialist.

Having socialist in the party name does not make Hitler a socialist.

Hitler wasn't a socialist, to say that is to have a complete misunderstanding of him economically and politically.

^ Or a complete misunderstanding of socialism.

I'm curious why you would think this to be the case.

People generally refer to the democracies of europe as socialist as well.  Yet they don't follow what some consider the main socialist tenent.  Aka ownership of the means of the production by the people.

Using the textbook definition of socialism (and communism for that matter) there has never been a socialist or communist government in existance.

Few people have issues with calling Stalin a Communist even though the government ran the means of production... when in reality such things were supposed to be run by the people with a near nonexistant government after a couple decades.

Unless you want to argue there are no socialists you'd need to find a context of what you consider socialism different from the textbook definition.

I'm interested to see what context you consider "socialism."
