You asked whether Nader is a leftist. Is he ?
( Despite defining left 's being a political football :) )

No, he is not, in my view. If Nader is a leftist, then most
Kemalists are leftists too.
How do you like my football (not the American one) playin?
Sabri
Yes, Sabri,
You make a good point to relate Nader to today's
anarchists.
It was not my intention at all. Moreover, if the left anarchists
hear what you said and think that I did that, they would view
this socialist friend of theirs a traitor, something I am not.

The issue is not whether it's a Marxist concept in the sense of whether

of bureaucracy in Weber is an extension of Marx to the degree that the
evolution of bureaucracy reflects a gradual transfer of the means of
