   albert einstein was a socialist and wanted better things for working people. his voice was quieted and narrowed after his death.consider, are you closer in status to a billionaire or a homeless person? how many lucky days for you to make that billion? how many unlucky days for you to end up on the street?who's side are you fucking on??? there's no need for anybody to suffer. we have robots on other fucking planets, every human being on earth should be fed, housed, and clothed. at an absolute MINIMUM.

     @newt @hckr us-style approach to "safety net" (force people to prove things over and over with mountain of unnecessary paperwork, and job is punished because benefits removed when working before earnings match etc) is less efficient than alternative

     @shmibs @hckr the us seems retarded in way too many regards from across the pond. But that doesn’t make socialism any better.There’s probably a reason why Einstein fled to the us and not to the ussr.

     @newt @shmibs I mean, it was academia. He's said that before, I'm pretty sure. It made way more sense for him to go to the US and continue working there with the american academics than the ruskis. Language barrier as well probably factored into it. I could swear I've read something he himself had to say about this but i cba to google it.

     @newt @hckr not sure what's going on in this conversation, seems going nowhere, but you should try reading book abovepositivism was a big club sort of like bloomsbury for nerds, with "core" members and then everyone einstein / wittgenstein / popper / russell / gödel / von neumann etc involved at least peripherally. there happened to be some positivism fans in the us like charles morris who did translations and tried to get people to come visit for conferences and things. then people in austria started losing their jobs (and eventually dying) and slowly started migrating over as us fans tried to get them us jobs there until momentum pulled over just about everyone (some would have gone uk as a midway english-speaking compromise instead, but it put all refugees in prison, so that didn't work outalso einstine explains his own political / socialist stuff in "essays in humanism", if you're interested that. and might try orwell stuff too

     @hckr @Telvannichad @shmibs you made me actually google. Einstein was in the US with a visit when the great austrian painter took over, so he just decided not to return. Much less poetic than I thought.

     @Telvannichad @hckr @shmibs I know. But Einstein fled Germany before WW2. I wanna say it was 1934, but I'm not sure.

     @newt @hckr @shmibs Russians had the same Nazi scientist poaching program as the Americans had.

     @hckr @shmibs I’m pretty sure russkies had some physicists too, unless they starved in Holodomor or something

     @shmibs @hckr I have read Orwell. I have also seen what socialism does first hand and how it fucks people up for generations.
