In his book "The German Catastrophe" (1946) historian Friedrich Meinecke (1862-1954) argued that National Socialism was a "degeneration" of the German character and intellectual tradition and that the "militarism" of Prussia retarded Germany's culture.
What an insufferable nerd.
To produce this ridiculous and opportunistic argument, Professor Meinecke had to ignore 1) Jewish international financial power 2) Germany's geographical position and the attendant strategic considerations 3) the entire doctrine of National Socialism as described in Mein Kampf 4) communism and the social problems brought about by the industrial revolution.
Like all liberals and Judeo-Anglo-American stooges, Herr Professor Meinecke simply brushed off the key facts of the 20th century and wistfully called for a return to classical liberalism and the "culture" of the Goethe era. What he failed to understand is that culture is not possible without idealism--the willingness to subordinate oneself to something greater.
Culture is downstream of politics. As much as upper-middle-class nerds like Meinecke want to pretend otherwise... you cannot have art, literature, music or high society without discipline, sacrifice and order. Duh. Read Aristotle you nerd.
