Poor Hitler. He was a radical socialist who had no use whatsoever for the concept of individual rights, and yet modern “liberals” continue to group him with “Right-wing” thinkers. The suggestion that conservatives would be apt to propose Mein Kampf was desirable reading for incoming freshmen at UNC again displays this preposterous notion. Hitler’s desire for a tightly controlled society is the polar opposite of the minimal government/maximal freedom philosophy of most conservatives.
I think incoming students ought to read Socialism by Ludwig von Mises. The book demonstrates why socialism must lead to a poor and strife-ridden society. The author, incidentally, had to flee from the Nazis in 1940. Nazi stands for National Socialist.
