IP found a time machine, he went back in time
and met Galileo. Galileo was just about to address
a meeting to retract his view that the earth went round the sun. When IP who learned italian in no time adresses him
IP yells "you should trust the pope"
IP yells " the vast majority cant be wrong''
IP yells '' The milan post tells the truth"
IP yells'' look everyone the earth is flat, galileo is a joke, he must be mad''
Even back in time he is too cowardly to tell the truth.

I think he was illustrating that ideas which were seen as madmen's thinking are now common ideas thus modern idea's seen as madmen's thinking could become commonly accepted ideas.

Ah, the "Flat Earth Society." I went to their website. I didn't quite agree with their ideas though but that's ok, they have the right to their opinion.

If that was peaccenicked's idea, then should we listen to obviously incorrect and foolish ideas such as Gene Ray's time cube theory (www.timecube.com), he claims he is a new socrates and galileo, but how is this relating to communism/socialism?

It relates to communism because while the round earth theory was seen as foolish in ye old days, now it is seen as the accepted idea. Conversely, communism is seen as a foolish idea now, but in the future it could be seen as the norm. Illustrating the whole idea of progress.

ThineStalin, the story is in the science fiction genre,
do you only read socialist realist tracts.
Imperial power, the truth is oft spoke in jest
