    Lenin smashed empiriocriticism so utterly that it barely even surfaced again.

    Fun fact: when later Einstein tried to make Mach feel better by trying to credit his influences on general theory of relativity (incorrectly btw.), he refused it.

      It wasn’t modern even back then, Berkeley which Mach plagiarised was XVIII century anglican irish bishop.
