A fine example! No, I would not deface Mein Kampf, for the reasons I described above. Adolph Hitler's ideas may be as atrocious as, reportedly, his writing skill, but they still deserve to be presented, if only to serve as a grim example of the methods of persuasion employed by a genocidal dictator.

In fact, on a slightly tangential note, a man named Daniel Kalder wrote a very interesting article on Quillette on the subject of learning from the writings of dictators, as well as a book, The Infernal Library. I haven't read the book, but I highly recommend the article.
