My main issue is that is should have been more forward thinking with the goal of a new European Civilization rather than a new German Empire. This new order still could have been lead and dominated by Germany. He wanted Empire in the East and was perfectly fine with liberal democracies in the West and even sought a world order lead by Germany in the continent and liberal Britain overseas. The anti slavism is exaggerated and there was no extermination goal but they clearly sought Empire in the East at the expense of Eastern populations.

It should have been more pan European and while temporary alliance with liberal UK could be done for convenience the goal needs to be the defeat of all liberal systems in the West.

Back then, Western Liberalism was hugely different from the dangerous and evil communism of the East.
