"I came to America because of the great, great freedom which I heard existed in this country. I made a mistake in selecting America as a land of freedom, a mistake I cannot repair in the balance of my life."
That’s exactly how I feel about it though it obviously wasn’t my choice to come here. Honestly, I feel like there is really no home for me anywhere in the world. That’s a useless thought though. Not like I have the money to go try and find it.
That feeling is capitalist alienization comrade. There really isn't a "home" anywhere for people anymore since nearly every corner of the Earth has been claimed by capital. It dominates every aspect of our life so totally it's hard to imagine life without it, but one day we will tear it down and see the beautiful world for what it really is.
It’s honestly hilarious to me that this country is the one my great grandparents decided to flee to

Apparently this is a quote from the FBI's file on Einstein, which means it could be true, or made up, because they apparently made up stuff about him too.
I read this as a wikipedia libertarian that cannot believe his science idol Albert Einstein could be communist.
