There are no bad soldiers, only bad generals

I have read Adolf Hitler’s “Mein Kampf”, and no matter what one thinks of the man, some of the thoughts he came up with were quite common in 1920s Germany, and probably also part of the explanation that the general population was seduced into do something that went against German interests, I am thinking in this connection of the expansion of German “living space” in the east, this was a logical mistake – because: That the people that Adolf Hitler first and foremost appealed to were some of the unemployed and since migration always takes place from south to north, or seen with North West European eyes from east to west, the intention of Adolf Hitler’s program was to relocate unemployed Germans in the direction east where competition was tougher than in Germany.  Adolf Hitler himself pleaded for the order of nature to be observed, with the most self-contradictory program I have seen in a long time. The Nazi program has plagued an objective dialogue in the way that some topics can be discussed and others that can be discussed, but with a Nazi stamp on it.  I have taken an excerpt from the Chapter “Munich”. I have refrained from the other chapters as some of them seek to create a collective scapegoat to divert the people’s anger and frustration from the elite and at the same time create a unity against an external enemy, remembering Napoleon’s phrase “There are no bad soldiers, only bad generals ”

Excerpt from the chapter “Munich”

The yearly increase in Germany’s population is almost 100,000 people. The difficulty of feeding this army of new citizens is bound to grow from year to year and will eventually end in catastrophe unless we find a means in time to avoid starvation. There were four ways to avoid this frightening development. 1. Using the French model—pregnancies could be aborted and therefore overpopulation avoided. It is totally true that in times of great trouble, bad climate conditions, or a poor crop yield, Nature herself takes steps to limit a population’s increase in certain countries or races. She does it both wisely and with no mercy. She does nothing to destroy actual reproduction, but prevents the survival of what is reproduced by exposing the new generation to such difficulties and deprivations that all the weaker and those that are less healthy are forced to die. Everything that Nature allows to survive faces the trials of existence a thousand times over, which makes life difficult and only the well-equipped continue to reproduce. This allows the process of separating the good from the bad to start all over. By brutally and immediately eliminating the individual that can’t handle the storms of life, she keeps the race and species strong and even pushes them to supreme achievement. Reducing the numbers creates stronger individuals and, in the end, improves the species. The result is different when man begins to limit his own number. He is not carved from the granite of Nature but wants to be “humane”. He believes he knows better than the cruel Queen of all wisdom. He limits reproduction itself, not the survival of the individual. He always sees himself as an individual and never as the race. He believes this road is more humane and better justified. Unfortunately, the results are also reversed. Nature puts a severe test upon survival while allowing free reproduction, then chooses the best among a lot of individual creatures to remain alive and propagate their species. Man, on the other hand, restricts breeding, but takes frantic care that every creature that is born will survive at any cost. This correction of divine purpose seems wise and humane to him, and he is delighted to have outwitted Nature and proven her inadequacy. The Heavenly Father’s pet ape hates to acknowledge the fact that the individual’s value is reduced when their numbers are restricted. The moment reproduction is restricted and the number of births reduced, we have a craving at any cost to “save” even the weakest and most sickly instead of allowing the strongest and healthiest to survive naturally. These seeds of a new generation are bound to become more and more pitiful the longer this mockery of Nature and her will continues. If this policy continues, the nation will eventually terminate its own existence on this earth. Man may defy the eternal laws of Nature’s procreation for a short time but vengeance will follow sooner or later. A stronger race will push aside the one which has grown weak. The divine will shatters all the absurd chains of this so-called humane consideration for the individual and replaces it with the humanity of Nature. She has no hesitation and wipes out what is weak in order to give a rightful place to the strong. Anyone who attempts to assure a people’s existence by limiting birth rates is simply robbing the nation of its future. 2. A second way to avoid a frightening future might be the one we constantly hear recommended today: internal colonization. Those who suggest this idea mean well, but they don’t have a clue what they are talking about and this would ultimately cause the greatest harm that could be imagined. Without a doubt, the yield of certain areas of soil can be increased. However, this is only possible within certain limits and cannot continue indefinitely. For a time the increase in the number of German people can be balanced by increased crop production without the danger of starvation. But, ultimately, the demands made on life will increase faster than the population. People’s requirements for food and clothing grow from year to year, and that cannot even be compared to the meager needs of our forefathers say a hundred years ago. In other words, it is a mistake to believe that increases in productivity make an increase in population possible. No, this is only true to a certain extent, since at least part of the increased crop production must go to satisfy the increased needs of men. Even with great sacrifice on one hand and constantly running industry on the other, the earth itself is bound to set a limit. All the diligence in the world can’t squeeze any more out of it. Disaster still comes, even if it is somewhat delayed. For a while, starvation will only happen occasionally, when crops fail or something of that sort occurs, but as the number of people increase, it will come more and more often until the only time it doesn’t happen is when bumper crops fill the grain
