The author of that article has also argued in favor of race-based wealth redistribution.

@Heminator @SeeTac7 hilarious and sad.

@MartiniShark @Heminator "Demands of the employer"–AKA showing up on time and doing your job. What Dickensian horrors!

@Heminator Looks like the WaPo aims to revive "commie" as a fashionable word.

@Heminator I wonder if he had a deadline on his piece. Or an editor who demanded changes. Or a min/max word limit. Or style guidance.
