I was coming from the point that it did not matter if he was. He never held or ran for political office. The power he was seeking was for the people within themselves through the principles of justice and love. He appealed to politicians based on that. Party affiliation and platforms were in flux during his time.

Now, the different platforms and principles are clear. The centrists are selling ours out to data centers, private prisons, and private equity.
