This man Einstein is an idiot. He obviously hasn't heard Rush Limbaugh and other "Ditto Heads" on the radio explain the dangers of socialism.

The thought of people working to benefit all of society is a sick joke. People should work to benefit only themselves, that is what Jesus would have wanted.

Einstein has some strange idea that "the individual is able to think, feel, strive, and work by himself; but he depends so much upon society—in his physical, intellectual, and emotional existence—that it is impossible to think of him, or to understand him, outside the framework of society."

The idea that we all depend on each other and that individuals grow and prosper in a compassionate and humane society is totally stupid. We all know that socialism is bad because the rich cannot get fabulously wealthy at the expense of the rest of society.

If the rich can't get super richer then who is going to buy all of those yachts and mansions?


A society where all prosper is not what America is all about. Leave that to Europe and the rest of the world. America needs to support their super rich by showing we care about their interests above our own. That is what it means to be free.

Einstein is one of those educated idiots Rush has warned us about. Let's not fall for his brand of economics.

I am really glad I live in a country where nearly all of the wealth has been transferred to the banks and the already super rich. That is what freedom is all about. This guy Einstein doesn't understand the real world.

Hell, this guy Einstein probably thinks things are relative and that God's word isn't absolute. Next he'll be saying that we should all be Buddhists or something.

What a moron!

Why Socialism?

by Albert Einstein

This essay was originally published in the first issue of Monthly Review (May 1949).

Is it advisable for one who is not an expert on economic and social issues to express views on the subject of socialism? I believe for a number of reasons that it is.
