Interesting to think that Shaw didn’t exactly contribute much (if anything) to society. Math? Nope. Science? Fegedabowdit. Social structures capable of improving life? Nah.
‘Would perhaps proven beneficial to turn that silly little man’s philosophy back on him.
Read Twain’s story “The Mysterious Stranger”
I think that was the biggest difference between Shaw and Twain.
Twain understood that writing earned a living for him only because he was in a free society where he was free to write what he pleased and others were free to buy it or not.
Shaw was a typical useful idiot. He assumed that socialists/communists would always love and accept him while allowing him to write freely as a member of the “educated class”.
The reality is that it would find something in communist society to be critical of. This would lead to calls for him to edit the offending material which he would resist. This would lead to a government official doing the editing for him. This would continue to escalate till Shaw died in a forced labor camp surrounded by men he had spent his life declaring to belong there.
