What were the main features of Hitler's ideology about the "folkish" state?
As you continue your exploration of important political documents of the modern world,
you come to this short excerpt from Hitler's best selling book, Mein Kampf.  In a
radically distinct manner, Hitler dealt with similar issues of human and political rights
that you have seen discussed in earlier documents in this course.  In this particular
case, Hitler held an extreme interpretation of conservatism, which he called national
socialism and which he derived from Italian fascism, centering upon the power of the
state in body of a single leader.  There were some other important points, but I'll let you
discover those from your reading of this document.  Your short paragraph should center
on Hitler's understanding of the nature of the state and the rights, responsibilities and
privileges of the citizens of that state.  Finally, I'd like to say that this is probably one of
the most difficult readings that you will ever encounter, especially in the area of politics,
because although Hitler was in many respects a brilliant thinker and innovator he was
extremely disorganized in trying to give logical exposition to his ideas in writing. 
Reading Mein Kampf, his autobiography, can be extremely difficult.
