Also, Einstein was offered a position as leader of the State of Israel. He basically said "fuck off and fuck Zionism."

Most intellectuals are socialist

I don't think they say "No intellectual would be a socialist", instead they say intellectuals are bad and evil. It's a classic pattern among dictator cults of personality.

Dictators love the poorly educated.

socialism might be nice but just getting rid of billionaires is a great start.

Can't do that without taking supremacy of Capital. There is no path to keep billionaires from existing within Capitalism.
