From the wiki article it seems highly likely that these allegations are true, so :sankara-salute: to a real one. Also, there is this podcast episode from 2017 where will talks about his family. But I haven't listened to it yet

        Buttigieg's dad was big on kropotkin right? So that is liberal to liberal there.

          Buttigieg's dad mainly worked on and translated the works of Gramsci.

          If you're reacting to Trudeau and Castro, it's kind of a meme but like boy do they have facial similarity. The article I linked makes the full, uh, accusation, it mostly comes down to the claims that the Trudeaus were swingers and were in Cuba for an extended period of time 9ish months before Justin was born. At any rate, it would be incredibly funny, so it's great.

          So if y'all ever have kids make sure to act super reactionary during their rebellious preteen and teen years so they grow up to be communists.

        Will's father in particular grew up in Greenwich village then got an incredibly fancy liberal arts education at private universities, then he worked at famously pompous magazine the New Yorker for 20 years. I mean if you don't end up a lib after all of that then you've got some kind of serious fortitude.
