2. Mein Kampf: Hitler on Nation and Race

Hitler's writings on Nation and Race are a one-dimensional reading of Nietzsche's philosophy of the Uber-mensch.

The stronger must dominate and not blend with the weaker, thus sacrificing his own greatness. Only the born weakling can view this as cruel. In nature, you will never find a fox who in his inner attitude might, for example, show humanitarian tendencies toward geese. Nature's daily struggles are always a means for improving a species' health and power of resistance is a cause of higher development.

The result of all racial crossing is the lowering of the level of the higher race and physical, intellectual regression is the beginning of a slowly but surely progressing sickness.

We can divide mankind into three groups, the founders, the bearers and the destroyers of culture. True genius which is found in founders is always inborn and never cultivated, let alone learned. The founders of all progressive human culture and civilizations are Aryans. The Aryan founders also possess a self-sacrificing will to give one's personal labor and of necessary one's own life for others is most strongly developed. However, for the formation of such higher cultures, the existance of lower human types is essential as a precondition. As such is natural, the strong dominates the weak and directs his energies for their mutual good.

The mightiest counterpart to the Aryan is the Jew. Their instinct for self-preservation is most developed and no other people have gone through greater upheavals and remained unchanged. Their sense of solidarity is not positive either since it is based on the very primitive herd instinct. This primitive heard instinct only exists in the face of danger and dissipates into self-quarreling once any danger is over.
