Philosophically he's on the left -- as a philosopher he's not half bad, actually, little taste as I have for communitarianism after Rwanda and the Balkans. Practically, he's a State Department socialist. And YOU, self-appointed scourge of the WWP, have no business going on about left unity. They at least are practically good if they are theoretically bad, Walzer's the other way around. Guess which one counts?
