He made a bold statement:
> The largest genocides of that period have been orchestrated by communist countries, supported by a lot if not most of of the intelligentsia
First part is that Intelligentsia means intellectuals, which in russia after 1917 it did not. Google has issues with doublethink but you can find on wikiedia what they did to intellectuals and what they redefined the term to. It also does not cove the fact that it is equivalent to intelligence services but not the same.
Second part is that Intelligentsia made genocides, which is ambigous, which intelligentsia? (the KGB?, if so, yes but they were not intellectuals, or the intellectuals?, if so, how?, they were all dead or not in power)
Third part is that Einstein belonged to that which is even bolder illogical statement... He was not russian, not a part of the KGB, had no power or involvement.

- adriancr 3y agoOh, sorry, corrected :)
- cm2187 3y agoIt was me, and on the topic of english, I think you may confuse "perpetrated" and "supported". I am not arguing that Einstein perpetrated a genocide and I think even some automatic translation wouldn't distord my sentence that badly.
- adriancr 3y agoAllright, my comments still stand. Your statement is still as outrageous and wrong even with those two words replaced and my comments still stand the same. How did Einstein "support" those genocides? Define the "Intelligentsia" that supported those genocides? How did "Intelligentsia" support those genocides?
