#2Fascinating. The entire article doesn't even bother to include the fact that Einstein was a socialist. He didn't want to "cross borders" - he wanted to remove them, which is the sole sane solution.

How does a democracy work without borders? Without borders there is no demos.

Borders and socialism seem perfectly compatible to me. Or do you mean that he was both a socialist, and against borders?

Socialism at the time was inherently international.

The "demos" or people would be any freely associating group of people, which isn't necessarily defined by borders.

While I agree with you that socialism is inherently against borders, I'm not sure Einstein ever said so.

That's not the same as against borders - see e.g. international trade, or tourism.
Socialism today seems to agree with borders ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vf-k6qOfXz0 ), and back then, there was national socialism...

So like what's been happening for the last 2000 years and resulted in our current borders?
