I was given the task of reading chapters 7-11 of Mein Kampf. During this reading it was kind of hard for me to engage and grasp the contexts because it felt a little all over the place especially since I had to start the book in a random section. It would be talking about the Bourgeoisie and then it would be talking about war it was sort of challenging form me to enjoy this reading. From what a somewhat gathered in these chapters is that all of this is from Hitlers perspective and what he experienced.
In chapter 8 there is one section that stood out to me the most and in that section it says that if men believe in the same goal and want to fight for it then they should join together and add to it strengths as well as it saying that it will better serve the common purpose. This is something that I cans say I somewhat understand for example the military. If it is something you believe and want to fight for people come together in support of that goal and they want a good out come. On the other hand if it is something that serves the common purpose I dont necessarily think that it should be for something that involves malicious intentions.
In chapter 9 it talks about state of authority it discusses how there is a foundation needed for authority and how it is based on popularity ,but a foundation that only relies on popularity is weak. It also says that if an authority is purely based on popularity it needs to be improved upon to prove that a strong foundation can be made. Even though I didn’t necessarily get much from these chapters from what I did get from this book wasnt at all what I expected.
