Serious question. I'm vaguely familiar with him as a political commentator on the left, but the more I see of the guy, the more I think he's just a liberal.

Arguably the most common kind of socialism in the 'west' historically. To go off of what @emizeko said, they were usually utopian socialists, particularly religious and nudist sects in the U.S., there is a whole sect of German utopians that set up around Missouri I think, but there were lots of these groups up south of Seattle, and even (famously) anarchist nudist socialists on the peninsula in Seattle.

They were non-Marxist in that they didn't subscribe to any variety of Marxist economic or geo-political thinking, and they usually are big on libertarian principles coming first.

Nudist, you say? Maybe we could learn something from these people.

Nudity is not inherently sexual. Unlearn puritan mindset.

Stop ragging on the bit and maybe I will.

Edit: Sorry that was rude. I don't think there is anything inherently sexual about nudity, I was just playing with the way it was brought up.
