Mein Kampf Readigs

In the two section of Mein Kampf we read talk mainly about the superior race and how it is being held back. This reading was someone disturbing but also very interest. Just how someone can tie the existence of the jewish faith and its followers to the thing that is holding back the "superior race." He started off Nation and the Race talking aout how naturally, cats with mate with cats, dogs with dogs, and so on. These things are true to nature, but then he goes into a superior person mating with an inferior person is cruel to the offspring, and the racially pure mustg refrain from doing so. After this, he defines jews as the lesser race, saying that they are plauging the human race, and holding back their true potential. I do not agree with this, i think that in the human race there is no superior or inferior separations, we are all one race and when we cross between eachother we are sharing our cultures, ideas, and ways of life. I look at his readings and i see extreme nationalism, where he is always pushing for the advancement of the Aryan race, but there is never cooperation between other countries, there is no national community in which each country will benefit. In his eyes, the country will benefit by "purifying" the nation and making it supirior, and by controlling this pure race, the state will become superior to all others. I do not agree with his ideas, but it is still very interesting that he was able to captivate so many people and achieve so much with this radical(in our eyes) idea.
