Einstein wasn’t the smartest person who ever lived.
There are a plethora of aspects to “intelligence.”
Was he extremely well read and did he have real world experience to be an authority on socialism? And even if he were an ‘authority’ on it, that wouldn’t automatically mean he’s right.
Lol what a poor troll thread, unless you actually believe it being an argument in which case you’re retarded but then again...

He’s widely considered the smartest person of all time. Tell us where it hurts.

Hitler?
I would have guessed Tesla but I don't know if he was a socialist. He was not only the smartest person ever, but he could also talk to pigeons, and possibly other animals had he tried.

Einstein was beyond smart. He was seeing reality at a much more accurate level, in such a way that none of us could relate. How does one begin to come up with the idea that the faster you move throughout space, the slower you age, the slower a clock would tick. Without this knowledge GPS satellite would be out of sync within minutes.
You RRR3 get hung up in terms and names. "I identify as this, I am that." Einstein was more about the bigger picture. Cause and effect. He would understand the stupidity of naming something "Black Lives Matter," because it would then become less about any type of substance, or idea, and the vast, simplistic public (not their fault) who view everything in black and white will just view it as strictly a you hate us because we're black and we want revenge.
He had an extremely social IQ. Believe it or not, Einstein dealt with fanboyism (It's really not a new phenomenon), he dealt with what we could call today fake news. His ideas threatened the established ideas, livelyhoods, and he knew very well that the vast majority of humanity are emotionally children. Einstein would easily understand the fake news media AND he would not dismiss the obvious BS just because Orange Man Bad.
We're talking about a level of intelligence that the vast majority, pretty much nobody would be able to relate to. He's not going to pick facts that fit an ideology that he's following because he wants to be part of a particular group, and dismiss those that don't
There's no doubt in my mind that Einstein would be supporting Trump in this election. He would be disgusted by the looting, the fake dishonest news and the extremes that they're going to mislead the public. He would recognize all the good that Trump has done.

Albert Einstein was a German mathematician and physicist who was a believer in a very limited form of world government.
Cool story bro. :cheers:

Listen to the interview.
He had profound wisdom on not only the universe, but the current structure of society amongst different countries. The latter was easy work for his mind.
Why the hell would we respect your manic opinion over his?
Cool story bro. :cheers:
Typing through the tears. Tell us where it hurts.

lol, i'm just quoting your source bro

Per your source, seems he was in favor of National Socialism? :D

The nation he left was much more socialist than the one he sought refugee status from. Obviously things were becoming uncomfortable for Jews in Germany when he left so you can't blame him for wanting to leave but he knew the Russians would love to have him. When he had to choose between another socialist nation and the most capitalist nation on Earth, he chose the the capitalist one. I'd judge him by his actions rather than his words.
Einstein also is a self proclaimed pacifict and promotor of world peace but knew his research would be used to build a nuclear bomb and actually begged the US to have him make one, even though he was not allowed to work directly on the bomb once the technology was posessed. Again judge the man by his actions not by words.
He was obviously a brilliant man, but regarding social matters he wasn't an accomplished man. He married his first cousin and allowed a Russian spy to lure him into an affair.

He said he was a socialist but of all the nations on Earth, he chose to go to the biggest capitalist nation on earth. The US was the epitome of capitalism when he moved here, a true example and gaudy display of powerful private industry. He said he wanted world peace but begged the US to have him make us a nuke. Facts. Judge him by his actions, not by his words.
Deal with it

While its true that the US has always been a capitalist country... in 1940 when Einstein came to the US, FDR was starting his third term as president, and his administration and his new deal policies were basically the closest thing to "socialist" that the USA has ever seen.
Between 1932 and 1940 -
FDR created massive infrastructure projects with the specific intent of giving jobs to the masses of unemployed created by the great depression. He oversaw huge labor reforms including the creation of the minimum wage, the abolition of child labor, the creation of the NLRB, and the establishment of the right for labor to collectively bargain. In the financial sector, FDR introduced massive reforms like glass-steagal, and created the FDIC and SEC. There are many more socialist policies and programs created by FDR, but the most notable is probably social security, which is arguably the most "socialist" program that exists in this country.
Also - for the record, the biggest capitalist nation on earth in 1940 was the UK, not the US

He was smart in physics. Doesn't mean he was smart in other fields.
For example you would assume that he would be smart in choosing women, but just look at the abominations he married. One of them was actually his 1st cousin too.
I'm not sure if this is a selfie but it does seem like one and i love how he looked here with this comical expression.

He was a pacifist before all and thought socialism had a higher chance to bring peace than the other ideologies at some point.
Pacifism and the atomic bomb? He knew Heisenberg et al were close and a nuclear bomb for Germany would've spelled doom for any other country. The US dropping it while the Nazis were no threat anymore triggered some quotes by him.
