ABSTRACT

Practically every key concept in Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf is a perversion, or a caricature, of a religious concept. The potency of Hitler's witchcraft was derived from his understanding that social relations are dramatic relations. Like the most popular of all dramatic forms on television, Westerns, politics is a struggle of the "bad guys" against the "good guys". These completely opposite characters are clearly indicated at the very beginning of the drama. As the action develops it becomes a chase, a hunt, which ends in a moment of terrible violence as the hero triumphs. Social systems do not have "equilibrium" or "disequilibrium", they have heroes and villains who lock in battles which, like the battles of the gods, decide the fate of the world. For this reason every attempt must be made to communicate the purpose of the Nazi movement to the largest number of people.
