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.

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.
Frank Herbert grew up on one of those communes in Oregon.
