As
a lifelong democratic Socialist (sadly " independent" ) I am inspired
by this convert from " The Virtue of Selfishness " to the virtue of St.
Francis. St. Francis inspired modern Catholic social philosophy
presently preached by Pope Francis. At bottom Socialism is not state
worship but respect for our common humanity .
My generation thought there was virtue in mere YOUTH : " Don't trust anybody over 30 ". But if middle age " failure " or old age vulnerability cannot cure " The Virtue of Selfishness " , nothing will ( perhaps hollow " success " ? )
Bernie Sanders is running against " The Culture of Narcissism ".
I will reference the above excellent article and author in my own blog.
