We want Einstein for our president

I don’t think there are anybody today who don’t know Einstein. Everybody knows him for his intellectual superiority, and his wisdom was well established. He was one of those people who never showed any inclination towards traditional bias and prejudice. He always saw the facts in front of him in their true light. Even though people around the world today praise him for his intellect and wisdom, very few people actually know why he is actually considered so superior than others. Of course he made some mistakes in his scientific deductions, but that in no way establishes that he doesn’t deserves the praise that he got. But the fact remains that even people who consider him wise can’t actually embrace his way of thinking. If I were to ask anybody today about Einstein they readily accept that he was the wisest man to roam the earth (with very few exceptions). But if I told the same person some very basic beliefs and claims of Einstein he would not even believe me.

The very first among these beliefs were his religious ones. Many people, at first observation saw Einstein as an atheist. But others, mainly religiously involved people claim that he changed his religious beliefs in his later years. Neither is the fact however. As I have read some of his very early and also his later works, I couldn’t find any significant difference in his religious beliefs. Only less wise people today couldn’t understand what he actually wanted to say, because of his complicated choice of words. Einstein never refuted a supreme power, or the concept of god. He just refused to believe the image of god that the people around him had drawn up. He neither supported the belief that there must be a god of any form whatsoever. In that way he may better be called an agnostic than atheist or theist. He accepted that he could not know, due to the limitations of his intellectual capacity, whether there is a god or not, which many among us fail to accept. In this way he was neither bound by the traditional misconception nor was he so proud to claim that he knew everything there is to know about the mysteries of nature. Or, we can say that he was true servant of the Truth.

Another thing that would surprise you is the fact that Albert Einstein was never against socialism. In fact he strongly warned the rulers of the world against capitalism saying that the free competition in capitalism leads to the waste of labor and resources. On other hands he also strongly focused on the point that a planned economy, as seen today is also not a socialism. In such planned economy also, there remains a central power that leads to the enslavement and exploitation of the involved individual labors. Bernie Sanders, as of today is my preferential candidate, just because he was not afraid to assert capitalism for what it is. Bernie is also not afraid to hint that he might favor socialism if he is elected as US president. What remains to be seen is can he actually distinguish between socialism and the planned economy, and move one step further toward the perfection.

The most surprising fact however is that Albert Einstein, the proclaimed wise man was strongly against Patriotism. Basically Einstein was such a figure that if he would have said that I am not human than I would have believed in him. Because, neither would he have denied me the truth intentionally, he worshiped truth, nor would he have said so without strong understanding of why I’m not a human, which would of course have been out of my own understanding. But either way he would not have lied to me. He saw patriotism for what it is. He thought patriotism in its extreme was corrupting the young minds with ridiculous sense of competition. Instead, he supported global correspondence with all his heart. I would of course like to know what Bernie Sanders’s views are in this matter. Of course being a presidential candidate he cannot outright declare that he is against patriotism. But will he motivate his fellow countrymen by the speeches of patriotism and nationalism or will he find bigger words like humanity and global correspondence. People say that great minds think alike. If Bernie is in essence the servant of Truth like Einstein then we might be seeing a new era of global correspondence and global peace. Yes, I don’t think that there is any reason why he won’t be our next president. I am voting for him and so are many other people like me, who want to achieve the unachievable perfection.
