Mr. Einstein shows up in a rather disturbing light, too. He lists a few problems, and then casts the blame for them:

"This is due to the fact that the intelligence and character of the masses are incomparably lower than the intelligence and character of the few who produce something valuable for the community."

How very much in line with the other despotic forces of the day....

This part also sounds familiar.

"However, the production and distribution of commodities is entirely unorganized, so that everybody must live in fear of being eliminated from the economic cycle, in this way suffering for the want of everything."

Didn't the Soviets have this problem solved by 1938? And then there is this -

"We . . . utilized power also in order to relieve humanity from all tiring muscular work."

I used power to trim my hedge last week. My muscles beg to disagree with Professor Einstein about the tiring part.
