To me its tragic that the smartest human to exist in living memory had his societal, socialist worldview swept under the rug by the capitalist pigs. We acknowledge he laid the groundwork for our understanding of physical reality itself, but sure lets pretend he didn't know what he was talking about with regard to improving our relatively simple by comparison exploitative inter-monkey social systems.

He was almost killed in the Holocaust too. That's why he fled to the US.
