>>8586>If among those intellectual circles that are nationalist in their outlook men can be found who genuinely love the people and look forward eagerly to the future of Germany, and at the same time have a sound grasp of the importance of a struggle whose aim is towin over the soul of the masses, such men are cordially welcomed in the ranks of our
movement, because they can serve as a valuable intellectual force in the work that has
to be done.
Here he explains that he is not against the bourgeois itself, he is willing to take those that genuinely care about the nation's people, but
>But this movement can never aim at recruiting its membership from theunthinking herd of bourgeois voters. If it did so the movement would be burdened with
a mass of people whose whole mentality would only help to paralyse the effort of our
campaign to win the mass of the people.
Sadly the burgeois is compromissed of people that would be no-good for the group. He further explains why in this paragraph, if you wanna read it yourself.
>If propaganda is to be of service to the movement it must be addressed to one sidealone; for if it should vary the direction of its appeal it will not be understood in the one camp or may be rejected by the other, as merely insisting on obvious and uninteresting truisms; for the intellectual training of the two camps that come into question here has been very different.
Here he talks about the importance and paradoxical nature of propaganda. The information on this page might be useful to understand why is it that those in power would rather manipulate the masses than outright tell them 'we need this' or that:
>Even the manner in which something is presented and the tone in which particulardetails are emphasized cannot have the same effect in those two strata that belong
respectively to the opposite extremes of the social structure. If the propaganda should
refrain from using primitive forms of expression it will not appeal to the sentiments of
the masses. If, on the other hand, it conforms to the crude sentiments of the masses in its words and gestures the intellectual circles will be averse to it because of its roughness and vulgarity.
just to expand on the previous point.

>Therefore, from any and every viewpoint, the organization is only a necessary evil. Atbest it is only a means of reaching certain ends. The worst happens when it becomes an
end in itself.
> Since the world produces more mechanical than intelligent beings, it will always beeasier to develop the form of an organization than its substance; that is to say, the ideas which it is meant to serve
'organizations' are necessary evils, because it is extremely hard to spread ideas on themselves due to nature's nature. In this regard I have to disagree, as I find it more important to educate mechanical beings into believing in ideals rather than relying on organizations.

>If an inspiring personality who has the gift of leadership cannot be found for theorganization and direction of a local group it is better for the movement to refrain from establishing such a group than to run the risk of failure after the group has been
founded.
Leaders are important in an organization, without a leader, it fails. This is also the reason nazism failed, an organization falls-apart without a leader, or if the leader makes a big mistake.
>It is quite erroneous to believe that the strength of a movement must increase if it becombined with other movements of a similar kind. Any expansion resulting from such
a combination will of course mean an increase in external development, which
superficial observers might consider as also an increase of power; but in reality the
movement thus admits outside elements which will subsequently weaken its
constitutional vigour.
In other words quality over quantity. You can't piss on a cup of water to get more water.

>By amalgamating political organizations that are approximately alike, certainimmediate advantages may be gained, but advantages thus gained are bound in the
long run to become the cause of internal weaknesses which will make their appearance
later on.
I gotta say this is a weakpoint, another crack in hitler's personality was his paranoia. Despite this paranoia fueling his extremely successful campaign at uniting his nation, the lack of introspection and insistence on the importance of perseverance and spirit may only have led to the weakening of his own cause. If mlpol is to serve as an example, sometimes two causes with different outlooks do need to join forces to breed a new and stronger race; That is also why dogs have so many breeds.
> The movement ought to educate its adherents to the principle that struggle mustnot be considered a necessary evil but as something to be desired in itself.
Persecution of an idea only makes it stronger. This is something that resonates to this day. However, if anything, we can see that too much persecution leads to the oppression of an idea to the point it becomes 'wrongthink' and is eventually smothered.
