actually it's not propoganda. propoganda wouldn't be so hard to understand. the basis of a good propaganda campaign is that it appeals to the lowest common denominator, so that it maximizes the number of converts, and it riles up the most adherents. that demands it to be easy to understand, which is why pamphlets never work as well as posters... posters present an image, which immediately conjures up a thought. in a info pamphlet, you have to read to understand, that takes much longer.
mein kampf, being incredibly hard to understand, is not a work of propoganda. it's more of an angry tirade. hitler wrote the whole thing in prison, and he didn't write, he dictated... now consider a human thought process, mein kampf is essentially a stream of consciousness. he is extremely verbose, and he rants on and on about different topics at different times. for example, he talks about his father, then he talks about something else, then 5 minutes later, back to his father. it's not organized in any way that would make sense to anyone other than him. his internal logic can follow the progression, and the only way to understand the book, is to get into his head and follow his internal logic. this is difficult on account of him being absolutely bonkers. which is waht i was getting at, you have to suspend your common sense, but not get sucked in...
