There is absolutely no reason to ban Mein Kampf. If anything is truly shows how unhinged he was and perhaps gives the reader an insight into what to look for before voting for another fascist dictator..... Well, maybe next time.
Edit: just realised the meme called all book banners not good guys instead of bad guys. And I agree the Bavarian government are definitely not good guys. Still left the original reply for ceomleteness' sake even though it's based on a wrong premise.
I agree that it should not be banned. However this one mistake isn't enough to label the people who banned it as bad guys. Overall the people who banned it, namely the Bavarian government, did an OK job at managing their state. They are conservative to be sure and passed a bunch of other bad legislation but not enough to make them bad guys. I associate bad guys with movie villains and while there are governments around the world that are on that level the Bavarian government isn't amongst them.
