Why Socialism? by Albert Einstein

[Delta4Embassy]

An essay from a man who helped invent the Atomic Bomb! How ironic!

Einstein was against teh atomic bomb. That his E=MC2 equation led to atomic bombs isn't the same as saying he helped invent it any more than the Chinese invention of gunpowder and rockets led to ICBMs.

"The Origin of the Manhattan Project


Its roots lay in a letter Albert Einstein sent to President Franklin Roosevelt. On August 2, 1939, Einstein sent a letter to the US President stating the Germans were trying to enrich uranium 235. This process would allow them to build an atomic bomb.


This led to Roosevelt’s decision to create the Manhattan Project. To purify the uranium, a research center was set up in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Some of the scientists that figured in this process were Harold Urey and Ernest Lawrence."
Who Invented the Atomic Bomb

That's an oversimplification of what actually happened. As it turned out, the Germans were never anywhere close to making an atomic bomb. And they found that out before we'd completed our's.

So you're saying the Einstein's letter wasn't entirely true and was a means by which to manipulate Roosevelt into producing an atomic bomb when it wasn't really necessary to do so.

Wasn't Einstein's letter. Was scientists who wanted to build an atomic bomb for us against Germany. These scientists didn't have the repuation or standing though to convince the administration to build it so they begged Einstein to sign on in support of it. And after much browbeating he did.

I also find it ironic that Einstein was pro-Socialist but anti-Nazi (National Socialism). LOL

LOL You spin like a top, admit defeat and move on

Okay. So you're simply going to deny the undeniable. Have a nice day.

all of you who desires for Socialism

MOVE your asses out of this country to one who has your socialism dream

We refuse to have you impose you idiot visions on us here

now sail away, bye bye

The magazine "Monthly Review" was (is?) a left wing rag that promotes socialism. Eienstein's rambling essay full of phrases like "hard to evaluate" is relatively (pardon the pun) meaningless.

Thanks Einstein. (sarcasm)

Hiroshima

Hiroshima victim

That bastard Oppenheimer was even more guilty. He celebrated the mass murder of helpless civilians.

At an assembly at Los Alamos on August 6 (the evening of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima), Oppenheimer took to the stage and clasped his hands together "like a prize-winning boxer" while the crowd cheered.
