Mien Kampf and jihad both mean “struggle.”

I am a Pastor of a small Church in Mid-Michigan who delights in my family, my congregation and my calling. I am postmillennial in my eschatology. Paedo-Calvinist Covenantal in my Christianity Reformed in my Soteriology Presuppositional in my apologetics Familialist in my family theology Agrarian in my regional community social order belief Christianity creates culture and so Christendom in my national social order belief Mythic-Poetic / Grammatical Historical in my Hermeneutic Pre-modern, Medieval, & Feudal before Enlightenment, modernity, & postmodern Reconstructionist / Theonomic in my Worldview One part paleo-conservative / one part micro Libertarian in my politics Systematic and Biblical theology need one another but Systematics has pride of place Some of my favorite authors, Augustine, Turretin, Calvin, Tolkien, Chesterton, Nock, Tozer, Dabney, Bavinck, Wodehouse, Rushdoony, Bahnsen, Schaeffer, C. Van Til, H. Van Til, G. H. Clark, C. Dawson, H. Berman, R. Nash, C. G. Singer, R. Kipling, G. North, J. Edwards, S. Foote, F. Hayek, O. Guiness, J. Witte, M.

Henry, G. Marten, P. Schaff, T. S. Elliott, K. Van Hoozer, K. Gentry, etc. My passion is to write in such a way that the Lord Christ might be pleased. It is my hope that people will be challenged to reconsider what are considered the givens of the current culture. Your biggest help to me dear reader will be to often remind me that God is Sovereign and that all that is, is because it pleases him. View all posts by jetbrane
Also recall that “audacity” means both “courage” and “insolence.”
And naughty and nihilism are related. Naughty is love of not.
‘Mein kampf’ is more akin to ‘my war’ or ‘my struggle’ (It is a bit ironic since “My War” is the greatest Black Flag song ever and Henry Rollins is the biggest liberal on the planet.) whereas ‘jihad’ has collective implications doesn’t it?
Daniel,
Actually I listened to a lecture that suggested that Hitler’s “My Struggle” while perhaps individual at its beginning point that it was collective in its ultimate expression just as jihad is collective. The guy giving the lecture was tying together all kinds of similarities between National Socialism and Islam.
Reflecting further, I suppose that the collective will of the people embodied and exercised by an individual is an element of the fuhrerprinzip.
If you are into ‘conspiracy’ stuff at all, Dave Emory ties the Third Reich into Islamofascism utilizing Wall Street Journal as his source. He does this from a far left perspective and his stuff is generally aired on the Pacifica network. Anyway, if there is ideological symbiosis between NS and Islam, Emory is capable of connecting the financial aspects of that relationship.
Anthony C. Sutton writes a number of those kinds of books. I’ve wanted to dip into Sutton but I haven’t had the chance yet.
Dave’s stuff is all audio so you wouldn’t have to read anything if you didn’t want to.
The transcripts are all archived and he cites as his influence a couple of older books on the subject. I know you are quite the bibliophile and you would probably find those texts to be most interesting.
Let me know what you think of Sutton if you ever decide to read him. I just haven’t been able to find the time for him.
