Also, Einstein was offered a position as leader of the State of Israel. He basically said "fuck off and fuck Zionism."

Most intellectuals are socialist
I don't think they say "No intellectual would be a socialist", instead they say intellectuals are bad and evil. It's a classic pattern among dictator cults of personality.
socialism might be nice but just getting rid of billionaires is a great start.
Can't do that without taking supremacy of Capital. There is no path to keep billionaires from existing within Capitalism.
I think we've been doing this capitalism thing all wrong. All these issues are because we forgot to do the sacrifices.
We should be taking the top .1% of capitalist and using them to perform routine blood sacrifice rituals to appease the capitalist gods.
We then use their capital to fund a festival that last until then funds run out.
Their purity of capitalism will surely appease the gods and end all these climate change issues we've been experience.
The crazy thing is that is clearly a bad and dumb idea and yet would be an improvement of our current system. That money would actually recirculate.
