"We are socialists, we are enemies of today's capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are all determined to destroy this system under all conditions." --Adolf Hitler

(Speech of May 1, 1927. Quoted by Toland, 1976, p. 306)

I read "Mein Kampf". First in Danish because a German "translation" was (1965) - and still is, at least in Germany - quite difficult to get hands on. Much later I also read it in German.

Some pretty good stuff in there actually, like that the supreme leader should also be liable for his acts and in worst case even so with his life. In our days politicians can do any kind of bad stuff while knowing they will never be made culpable for anything.

That said, in your opinion, what was it really which made Hitler "non socialistic" or socialist in name only?
