No.  He adopts the rhetoric of libertian socialism, but is really a
burn-and-smash nihilist.  Not the same thing at all, and rather a
discredit to freedom lovers everywhere.

Even libertarian socialists are firmly opposed to Marxism, Leninism, and
Stalinism. As for the Nazis, they were socialists too.

In which case we should deny Lir the impression that he is still able to
manipulate or have an effect on the Wikipedia.

Helga does seem to have returned; I haven't seen a long string of edit
wars like before; I hope she talks to Jimmy.  When I saw her reply on
her talk page, I assumed her account had actually been unblocked in the
database itself.
