              Sorry about that: I didn’t realize there was a link; and thanks for making it.

              Neither the words “socialist” nor “leftist” appears in that article.

                They don’t have to because…

                The title, Of One Blood, refers to the biological kinship of all human beings.

                …sounds perfectly radical to me.

                  We have a biological kinship with all mammals.

                  You have to be more specific.

                  This is not to denigrate her work, and she might have had at least some sympathies with socialists and leftists, but it’s probably neither socialist nor leftist in the same way that Rand was ideological, much less “Fascist.”

                    …and deep down we’re all just stardust. What is your point?

                    neither socialist nor leftist in the same way that Rand was ideological,

                    That’s because it’s utterly impossible to be “socialist” or “leftist” in the same way Rand was ideological - being an unhinged bootlicker has decidedly never been the point of leftism.
