No proof at all, CG, about that.
Hey, have you met divecon, elvis, or crusaderfrank? You may find true love!
I have read the quotes from Van Jones about his being 'a radical communist'. I have seen no quote from him disavowing those beliefs. And I have read chapter and verse about and from Jones. A quick google search will give you, in his own words, his communist beliefs. You find me any quote from him that disavows that and I'll be happy to read it.
I make it my business to know who these people are.
You don't have to "dissavow" a belief in order to change it. That's a fallacy. Political ideology is not like religious dogma. Do you dissavow the GoP to become a Democrat or do you find, after a while, that your beliefs have changed and are no longer in line with your party and...change it?
Look at what he's written and done since 2002 and it is clear he that he believes capitalism is the vehicle to social change.
You may make it your business to "know who these people are" but that doesn't affect your accuracy, only your bias.
He claims he was communist yet, you state he isn't, it seems the burden of proof falls in your court.
