    I’m not ‘shitting on Einstein’, I’m simply saying he’s not some sort of political or economic expert. If he were, he’d be famous for those as well as for being a pre-eminent physicist.

    Giving weight to someone’s opinion on one topic just because they’re an expert on a different topic is highly inadvisable.

      Once again not really answering my question. Who do you consider a better authority that was living in the period?

      If you have no better authority to offer this just amounts to an ideologically motivated dismissal.

        Dude, you’re the one trying to paint Einstein as some sort of authority on the subject. He’s the same guy who urged the US to begin work on the Nuclear Bomb, which we both know the results of.

        He was a smart man and a great scientist, but a great judge of moral character he was not.

          You’re avoiding giving any other examples. Either because you don’t know any, or because you know you can’t offer one that wasn’t a fascist.
