    We have a biological kinship with all mammals.

    …and deep down we’re all just stardust. What is your point?

    neither socialist nor leftist in the same way that Rand was ideological,

    That’s because it’s utterly impossible to be “socialist” or “leftist” in the same way Rand was ideological - being an unhinged bootlicker has decidedly never been the point of leftism.

      You have to be more specific.

      That’s because it’s utterly impossible to be “socialist” or “leftist” in the same way Rand was ideological - being an unhinged bootlicker has decidedly never been the point of leftism.

      Do socialism and leftism have definitions, and if so, what are they, and did Pauline Hopkins, or her fiction, fit those definitions?
