What It Means
This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "Millions of Germans follow Hitler because he has proclaimed war upon the banks, upon the trusts, upon 'loan-capital.' He has asserted time and time again that he will abolish the rule of one class by another." in the context of "p. 17" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
