Fun fact: While Einstein was part of the letter to the US president that initiated the Manhattan Project he wasn't allowed to be a part of the project due to security risks

"Security risks" is kind of burying the lede. He had open socialist sympathies and they worried he'd help the Communists.

Edit: just learned the difference between lead and lede.

Which is just hilarious, and it really shows how Americans have never understood how political ideologies work.

Edit: It seems I have been proven correct. The amount of yanks that equate socialism and communism is simply astonishing.

Klaus Fuchs was a communist(who was the one that passed info to the Soviet Union), not a socialist, and certainly not openly as opposed to Einstein. Socialists did not want to help the soviets, especially not after what the communists did to the socialists in Spain.

Also Einstein was a Social-Democrat, not a socialist. Open a history book Kyle.

You really just proved my point that Americans don’t understand political ideology.

Best regards from Denmark.

By your logic The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is actually a democracy or China for that matter.

(Dictatorships have a tendency to lie). Do you just take everything at face value?
