    I think it's possible that he's just a radlib, or maybe a demsoc. One of the main themes of his special was a cynical examination of how the internet influences people's beliefs. This is most obvious in Welcome To The Internet where he says lines like "Obama sent the immigrants to vaccinate your kids". Granted this song is more straightforward satire, but every song has some elements of satire, so I'm not exactly sure how sincerely Socko repressed his political beliefs.

      Whether or not Socko represents his political beliefs the act of being able to convey those beliefs coherently in a way that is not at all a caricature shows he fully understands them.

      I find it difficult to believe a person that does not fully understand our ideas and the marxist analysis of world conditions would not also themselves become a marxist. Demsoc maybe, but marxist nonetheless. MLs themselves are well known to take on demsoc methods in various conditions.
