Einstein agreed with Karl Marx, that capitalism is a corrupt system that brings out the worst in people and allows greedy robber barons to exploit the working class.
Wow! Looks like you got a lot of responses from people that don’t know much about Democratic Socialism. I would suggest they do a deeper dive and get some more info, before they throw out the baby with the bathwater! They must know that the one form of government to be avoided at ALL costs is FASCISM!!!🇺🇸✊🏼🙌🏼
A persons “intelligence” does not necessarily translate into their choice of their political ideology. There are numerous geniuses.in the Republican Party.
Albert Einstein opposed nuclear weapons and spent his post-war years advocating for their control and abolition, though he initially signed a letter to President Roosevelt urging the US to develop them out of fear that Nazi Germany would do so first.
He later deeply regretted his indirect role in the Manhattan Project, calling it his "one great mistake" and a pivotal moment that led to a world with the threat of universal death.
Initial involvement: In 1939, Einstein and physicist Leo Szilárd wrote a letter to President Franklin D. Roosevelt warning that Germany might be developing an atomic bomb and suggesting the U.S. start its own research.
Regret and pacifism: After the bombs were dropped on Japan, Einstein expressed great regret, stating, "Had I known that the Germans would not succeed in producing an atomic bomb, I would have never lifted a finger". He was a pacifist and had no direct role in the Manhattan Project, as he was denied a security clearance.
Post-war advocacy: Following the war, Einstein became a vocal advocate against nuclear proliferation and for nuclear disarmament. He became the chairman of the Emergency Committee of Atomic Scientists in 1946 and worked with others to warn the public and call for international cooperation.
Advocacy for world government: Einstein believed that the only way to truly prevent nuclear war was through the creation of a world government with the power to control military matters and prevent any single nation from waging war.
"Sly" doesn't equal "Smart". Comprehensive intelligence factors a system of maximum benefit for maximum people. The Republican Party hasn't been about that for a very, very long time. They can't even be bothered with sustainable system since the 80s. Capitalism is extractive.

Anything associated with conservatism is authoritarianism.
So…einstein was a Democratic Socialist. Your point is?
My point is that the robber barons who claim capitalism is freedom and Democratic socialism is somehow bad or stupid, are lying to you.
Indeed. I think they are slowly beginning to get it. Some are extra slow.
I could not agree more!
Trump may have a little intelligence but zero emotional intelligence (EI). Is low or no EI due to his being a narcissist?
In Germany they are called Social Democrats like FDR. I believe that all people are deserving of prosperity!💪💪💪💪
So what ? That makes no sense.
Or maybe it goes *woosh* over your head.
Go on. No sense, Because.....

Not to throw ice water on this but the 🍊💩was a Democrat at one point in his life. 😔
trump will be whatever makes him rich and famous, doesn't matter what it's called...
That’s interesting but it has nothing to do with the post. Or what you said for that matter. But hey, you do you. You have a nice day. Good bye.
You claimed someone's IQ doesn't affect who they vote for. You're wrong.
Dumb people vote Republican because they're too dumb to realize they're being lied to, and that they vote against their own best interests.
That's what that article you didn't read was about. Here's another article for you to ignore, because ignoring info is what dumb people do.

Why education level has become the best predictor for how someone will vote

Common sense is only one of many reasons to choose a political affiliation. Obviously the parties offer dramatically different kinds of motivation.
Perhaps. But my congressman is R and a COWARD. Others are too meek to stand up. Some *Genius*, there. (Not)
Einstein also petitioned Roosevelt to develop atomic weapons.

… but later regretted it
No argument out of me on that. My Comgresspeople are Republicans also.
