Dore's cheap demagoguery is popular among many. He's just a lot of fast talk, sloganeering, and zero depth. So it's no surprise that he's now an open advocate of the misnamed red/brown alliance. That's a misnomer because in fact it is the infiltration of fascist ideas into the left. This whole idea
