The Home Ministry raided and conducted a seizure at the Toko Buku Rakyat bookstore owned by local author Benz Ali at Wisma Central, Kuala Lumpur, earlier today.

When contacted, Benz confirmed the incident and expressed his disappointment with the confiscation.

“You can’t do this. What’s more, under the leadership of Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim. This is just like the previous BN government.

“It’s your government, yet you can’t even control the Home Ministry. I sell books that are not listed in the banned book list.

cause mein kampf is closer to conservative Malaysian politics than karl marx's manifesto.

latter wants you to seize the means of production and emphasises on collectively rise up against injustice. former takes an organic view of the state and wants you to be their bitch. ofc they can't let you have the manifesto lol.

the notion of eugenics was also articulated in depth by Adolf Hitler. Our constitution also happen to define what is and is not a Malay - which would determine whether you are entitled to extra benefits in life.

but still, Mein Kampf is literally weaponised autism. komunis manifesto is so chill and lofty compared to it.
