According to The OC Weekly, the group advertised the Aug. 19 event by telling people that it was time to purge their homes, State, and country of degenerate literature.
This includes literature of Marxism, Communism, Bolshevism, literature with liberal, democratic tendencies/attitudes, and writings supporting the decline of Western Culture, the event description read. Books on sexuality and sexual education which serves to indoctrinate the life of degeneracy, such as Cosmo and Teen Vogue should be brought to the fire as well. We will also burn the Koran, publications such as Karl Marx, and more. We must create a future without degeneracy for our children.
As news of the event spread across California liberal groups on Facebook, people gathered to troll the event page. Citing President Donald Trumps use of the term alt-left to allege a violent uprising was happening among liberals that is akin to Nazis, Cadavids group canceled the event and deleted their page.
I do not want to go into a long explanation at this time, Cadavid began. The event was in no way intended to eradicate these publications, more a symbolic way of showing that we do not approve of what is being taught to our children and maybe that should have been made clearer, I do not endorse the censorship of literature or personal political views in any way.

Hey Nazis:
1. You don't give a rat's ass about children, so stop pretending like you care.
2. If we held a book burning where we burned O'Reilly, Hannity, Limbaugh, Coulter, Savage, etc books, you guys would be *FLYING* off the rails and insisting we all be locked up.
So shut the fuck up and get the fuck out.

I know this because my very southern conservative parents disliked me getting these books for my children and the kids weren't allowed to bring those books over to their house. I remember my mom telling me that their pastor had preached a sermon against these "sneaky tools of the devil". She was such a wonderful woman in so many ways, however she definitely had her short-comings.

(12,858 posts)Heine, a very famous German poet, wrote this in the 19th century: "Dort wo man Buecher verbrennt, verbrennt man auch Menschen" (There where people burn books they will also burn human beings.)
This statement is on a memorial in Goettingen noting the Nazi book burnings there.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer's sister was married to a professor there at the University of Goettingen. (His family was Jewish.) They and their children escaped, eventually making their way to England. IIRC, Dietrich accompanied them to the German border.
Interesting to note: When the list of books burned in Berlin was published, many German authors demanded that their names and works be added to the material condemned by tne Nazis.

(10,252 posts)The one sure way to make a book very very popular, and make people crave to read it, is to ban it. Going all way back to the Wycliffe and Tyndale bibles down to "Tropic of Cancer" by Henry Miller and "Catcher in the Rye" by J. D. Salinger. You cannot rub out an idea. Just look at how successful the Nazis were at banning books.
