If authors intent is dead/irrelevant, can I make a romantic love story out of Mein Kampf?
I don't know about you OP, but I always read mein kampf as a love struggle between a troubled artist, and a nation that refused to love him back

Is it possible in principle to pull a Pierre Menard and perfectly reproduce the text of Mein Kampf word-for-word, but with the intent of writing a love story? If yes, the answer is yes.
>>7327185
Which nation? German loved him.
>>7327273
Not on their first date. Bavaria rejected him when he tried his first Putsch in 1923.

Yeah, and burning jews in ovens predated the Holocaust, but that doesn't imply that it was the Nazis who perfected it.
