Maybe a controversial and weird question, but I only feel comfortable asking in this thread.
I'm kinda interested in reading Mein Kampf for anti-Nazi reasons. I know it's going to be garbage but I'm curious from an historical perspective. I don't want to steal it, I used to steal food but I'm thankfully in a position now where stealing would hurt me now more than help me (solidarity though), but I also don't want to support Mein Kampf financially for obvious reasons.
Are there any non-Nazi publishers of Mein Kampf to purchase it from? I realize this is probably a ridiculously stupid question but I just wanted to check if there's any good way for anti-fascists to aquire it. I know I can probably just download a PDF and I'll probably do that but I do like to have physical copies of books.
I actually did something similar when I was fairly young. It is definitely garbage lol. If you do decide to read it, I’d really recommend you get an annotated version. I don’t remember which one I used but I switched partway through because Hitler’s writing is actively uninformative, especially if you don’t know exactly what random weimar republic era controversy he’s whining about. It’s pretty analogous to modern reactionary rhetoric tbh.

Thanks, that's helpful (but unsurprising) to know.
I love your username, by the way. Haha
Thank you!
I’m still shocked that it wasn’t taken lol
