Those developments preceded the national socialist takeover, and they were not isolated nor endemic to Germany; a lot of them were the result of trade with the US and Britain.

INTELLECTUAL (in-ta-LEC-chu-el): An individual who is unwilling or unable to create or produce anything of value to others, who pontificates and expects to be paid for it, usually from public funds.
