>>11691587Right, growing up as a poor person in a ghetto, having to work to support your family while studying, etc etc, doesn't necessarily mean you understand life outside of academia. It's not like their whole life has been outside of academia and have just recently entered in it.
Also your claim for intelligence is completely off. If the majority of this "rich" academia who doesn't understand 'muh real life' is communist, but also the poor academia who 'grew up with progressive ideas' but 'not intelligence' is communist, you're just going on circles finding excuses for why each group of intelligent people support communism lmao. Next up middle class academics support communism bcs >insert smthg else related to their hardships here to cope<.
The reason so many scientists, from Einstein to Oppenheimer, support communism, is because smarter people understand it's the smarter choice. Why do you need to cope so hard, mr. Brainlet?
