Dangerous Books?
A new Spiked feature series dedicated to free speech
Today we are pleased to announce our new Forbidden Knowledge series where we critically re-examine books that have often times unwarranted controversial reputations. Our very first piece deals with a book that will be familiar to many of our readers: Mein Kampf.
Whilst its reputation proceeds it, it ought to be pointed out that once you look past the anti-Semitism and other less ‘politically correct’ passages this is a book much like any other you’d care to read and certainly no worse than anything Karl Marx ever produced. However, if you do leave in the anti-Semitism and vegetarianism you are left with liberal darling Jeremy Corbyn, a salutory lesson for those members of the elite who consider themselves ‘woke’. For after all wasn’t Hitler a socialist and isn’t socialism the real fascism? We will let you, dear reader, decide that for yourself whilst scrupulously presenting the evidence in favour of our preferred side.
To mark the occasion of the new series, we are providing the first book free of charge and with the only cost incurred being that of postage and packaging. Please note that all addresses given will go into our secure database for monitoring and any locations found to be comfortable college campuses or rootless cosmopolitan New York or London bars must pay the full price of the book as well as p&p.
This exquisitely bound edition comes with a new introduction by Dominic Cummings, a man who has the Remainer elites flummoxed as he plays 8-D chess whilst they scrabble around thinking they’re playing Hungry Hippos. We know that Cummings is an ubermensch with a brain the size of Shropshire as he was famously played in a film by Benedict Cumberbatch, an actor who has a penchant for playing misunderstood but often lionised weirdos, so it is only a matter of time till he plays der Führer himself.
We would also like to take the opportunity to thank our generous sponsor the Koch Brother for allowing us to be able to make this offer. And as if all this weren’t enough, we are also giving the first 100 readers who apply a free lapel pin that will show everyone just how committed to free speech you are.
We have big plans for this series and hope to feature many more books over the coming months, including but not limited to: Powell The Anarchist Cookbook; Kaczynski The Unabomber Manifesto: Industrial Society and Its Future; Clarkson The World According To Clarkson; Nabakov Lolita; Murray The Bell Curve; etc. We hope you enjoy the thrilling journey into these books a few of which aren’t even racist.
