Mein Kampf is crap. It is a compilation of various ramblings slapped together. I was reading that Mein Kampf was written while hitler was in prison for trying to overthrow the government. He himself did not write it, he dictated it to Rudolph Hess, supposedly. The book was fueled by emotion and lacks structure. If you go to a schizophrenic and record his thoughts for a week, put them on paper and call it a book, it might closely resemble Hitler's work.
The left and right ideals have lost their meaning. I think it is hard for any American to claim to be at the extremes of either side. We live in a socialist democracy fueled by capitalism. It's a blend of everything, really. I think the Hitler controversy was intentional so he could capture the support of the majority of the German people. This is not any different from American politicians saying what they need to in order to get elected. If you are an outstanding public speaker, no matter what you actually believe, you could manipulate the audience.
