Incredible write up comrade. I was not aware of Einstein's views on the Chinese and on Zionism.

Thanks! Einstein is... complicated. The best way to view him is as someone who logically came to believe in the necessity of Socialism, without seriously confronting his liberalism or the pro-Western Chavuanism he had from his early days. I think Why Socialism? is very useful as it contains none of that chauvanism while making a clear case to liberals who idolize him why they may be wrong about Socialism.
