Hitler's
speeches for bedside reading ? Well, he could be quite soporific,
Adolph Hitler. In " Mein Kampf " one chapter at least explains the roots
of Hitler's political personality . Read " My Vienna Days ".
Psychiatrist Erich Fromm analyzed Hitler as a " destructive personality
", a petty bourgeois who despised working class life, seeing himself as
the artist type-but living in hateful squalor and misery. Personal
misery does often find political expression. Other ruined middle class
Germans turned to some variety of socialism. It can happen here !
Both Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders talk about the death of the American Dream - the middle class " good life ".
[ Review of " Anatomy of Human Destructiveness "
" In sane life-loving societies it would be recognized as the pathology that it is; malignant character-types like Stalin, Hitler and Himmler -- Fromm's models -- would be harmless because they wouldn't have a chance to come to power. "]
