He's a blessing, to be sure, but full of cliches. His writing is (or was) more analytical and to the point. The Left in this country attempts to deal with real problems: injustice, unbridled capitalism. greed, concern for the working class, the poor, but often with a deficit of clarity, consistency, regarding its philosophical & political foundations. Walk far enough to the Left and one ends up in Marx's arms ---an oligarchy in the waiting prepared to run the Collective. West is not that.
"You may purchase slaves from the foreigners among you. You may purchase their children treating them as property, passing them on to your children as inheritance. " Leviticus 25:44-46
