I don’t really see an issue with this position. Replacing book bans with de facto bans by refusing to stock them could also become a problem. I’ve read Mein Kampf and I’d still gladly slug a Nazi.
No it is amazing. It is so amazing to read, that a Turkish origined comedian took it up on him to read it to Germans, to show them just how great it was.
Resulting in even some hardcore Nazis to end up laughing, because the book is just completely utter horseshit.
bookshops can’t stock every book. Just because they don’t stock Georges Perec’s Species of Spaces or Italo Calvino’s If On A Winter’s Night A Traveller or Marcia Citron’s 1988 biography of 19th century composer Camille Chaminade doesn’t mean those books are banned - they’re niche.
It seems more likely that current, contentious, right-leaning polemic is in a lot of stockist warehouses due to the political machine and the supply chain software is just presenting the inventory without comment.

Mein kampf is a terribly written book. Maybe it’s a translation issue? Does it read better in German?
I read it in English so I can’t say. I just chalked it up to Hitler being a dipshit
