slow down there he is not that important. But I get your meaning.
Lol, it was meant as hyperbole of course. I just don't see him as someone who gets fully subsumed by the party. His entire position is to be "left of the Dems" so even if they do become actually social democrats at some point I think he'll continue to hold that position.
And yeah, he's not consequential as a political figure, but honestly Marx wasn't either. It took a new generation of workers to carry the very moderate manifesto into a revolutionary movement.
(Also not comparing Hasan to Marx in terms of theory, just in terms of practical influence on the working class of their time)
I should known it was tongue in cheek especially from you. My brain just does that sometimes.
