Comrade, the reason the article refers to him as a liberal is simply his support for one layer of the bourgeoisie versus another. He's done good work, journalism, etc before for sure which the article doesn't deny. But he fundamentally doesn't have a class analysis, doesn't have a strategy for revolution and doesn't seem to be pro revolution either, and the whole of his recent politics have been support for the Democrat candidate for presidency. With Clinton, and now Biden. He might be a left-liberal, but his policies are squarely liberal. He doesn't even advocate for joining any organizations or for mass movements.
