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.

MODERATORS
Dictators love the poorly educated.
No, they just need their votes.
Most intellectuals are socialist
I can recommend this piece from Hobo Johnson ("why socialism by Albert Einstein")

And while you're there just check out the rest of his work, man's amazing.
Also, Einstein was offered a position as leader of the State of Israel. He basically said "fuck off and fuck Zionism."
Source? Never heard of this
I remember a republican coworker arguing that Interstellar’s concept of time dilation was super unrealistic and that can’t possibly be how things are. All this to say, I’m sure Einstein is about to be cancelled and relativity denied as hard as climate change.
A customer told me they don't believe in space last night 😞

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.
I think we've been doing this capitalism thing all wrong. All these issues are because we forgot to do the sacrifices.
We should be taking the top .1% of capitalist and using them to perform routine blood sacrifice rituals to appease the capitalist gods.
We then use their capital to fund a festival that last until then funds run out.
Their purity of capitalism will surely appease the gods and end all these climate change issues we've been experience.
The crazy thing is that is clearly a bad and dumb idea and yet would be an improvement of our current system. That money would actually recirculate.
Through the blood offering, their capitalist spirit will be released into the ether for The Gods to redistribute to us, their worthy followers.
We will honor these sacrifices by engraving their names in the bricks we will use to build the temple to The Gods has has been foretold in these gold tablets I found that only I can see and read.
The tablets say if we fail to follow these edicts we will be doomed to live in an ever warming planet on fewer resources as punishment. The seas will rise. The cities will burn. The rivers will flood.
For Grofit! The wise and avaricious Parvos commends you!
Erm... Ok

He wasn't a SeRiOuS intellectual though.
Need a sever lack if humor for that sweet sweet capitalistic greed.
And the name of that Albert Einstein...?
Carl Sagan.
