Here's yet another person who confuses or conflates neo-liberals as "the left." -ugh- You guys are innumerable. Get A Damned Clue; "the left" and neo-liberals are TWO DIFFERENT GROUPS and the only one you know anything about are the neo-liberals - the left is a true mystery to the right in the USA as reflected in hundreds - soon to be thousands - of comments under Greenwald articles.
Please tell us, O wise one, what to call peace/justice sorts of people. In my head I call them Shakespeare catholics, because that means inspiration to me. But what do you call them inside your head?
I would answer but I don't know quite what you mean by "peace/justice sorts of people." ... Actions matter. Saying you're for peace and justice and doing something about it are two different things...
The Franciscan sister came here to Savannah to serve the large, majority black population. My friend, Fr. Donnelly got them a high school. One, Sr. Mary Catharine Moore got a social mission going and lived a fearless life. She walked all over, day or night, to help people. I was told if anyone harmed a hair on her head, they would be "gone" by morning. She died peacefully on her porch in the ghetto at 79.
She and others set up a Catholic Worker house for AIDs homeless. It was a lovely haven, with Mass and flowers...nothing of the puritan punishing look. It was such fun.
Did you think I was talking about a panel discussion over the net?
Well, your one example I would say is _clearly_ a person of the left because she helped The People, not the ultra-rich. That's the easiest way to tell who's "left." And, thus, it's super easy to call out the neo-liberals who may claim left status - as I said action matters, and the neo-liberals are hypocrites, saying something that sounds good and doing something else that harms others.
If "the right" wants to claim her, too, well, yall seem to have the same problem we on the left do with badly-intentioned people trying to say they're a part of your group.
I don't think any political ID wants to claim saintly people...they both were criticized by the 'correct' right and ignored by the rest. The Catholic church had scary infiltrators and still does....truly a challenge to step over all the pikes of muck.
I was looking over on the left for some forgiveness and came up empty-handed. It's apparently in short supply these days.
