Left Flexes Muscle in Niagara

[Zinjanthropos]

A Niagara politician has been forced to resign because he (allegedly?) owns a signed copy of Mein Kampf. I’m totally flabbergasted that we have these people running local governments and spending taxpayer dollars that don’t see the historical signifigance of this book. I guess they’re deciding that it’s best for the electorate not to know some of the history of anti-semitism and what prompted the holocaust in WWII.

There was a time when I was curious about the damn book myself, so I bought it at local bookstore. They had more than one copy for sale. It’s a (inter)national chain and next time I go in there I’m going to look for it. I just wanted to know some history. Bothers me that people can invade the man’s privacy to punish him. It’s bloody well disgusting behavior and they should all be forced to resign.

Of course, the same standards don't apply to Das Kapital (and the earlier Manifesto appendage, as well as Marxist websites), despite it being responsible for millions more deaths from Stalin to Mao to Pol Pot to NK leaders implementation. There's a copy of DK in just about every literary intellectual's or humanities scholar's library, as well as many social scientists. The secular world (especially the Western guilt segment) doesn't have much else as a legacy guidebook source for the genealogy of its morality.

...owns a signed copy of Mein Kampf.

Usually only fans get signed copies.

“Today, a member of the communist party circulated a dated document that listed my name as the owner of a historical book found in many libraries” ... both Gale and Jouppien maintained it was merely an addition to Gale’s collection of historical artifacts and not an endorsement of the Führer. [...] Jouppien also claimed that Gale’s historical collection was worth millions of dollars.

Gale doing it for reasons of monetary value might actually be worse. As a good Marxist boy scout (the latter being held in high esteem by the establishment), Waziruddin should have jumped on the anti-capitalist bandwagon as much as the anti-racist one.
