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.
