One thing I do think is important is his stance on the far left and the horrors of (particularly) Soviet communism.
The current polarisation of politics (read: the Internet) is pushing people toward the extremes. There seems to be a general feeling that the far left and communism isn't 'as bad' as the far right - see Ash Sarkar proudly proclaiming that she is a communist as an example.
It just seems like these younger generation aren't aware of the true horrors committed in the name of communism, and if they are, it was just that it just wasn't 'done right' then.
As if that experiment hasn't been run enough times with tragic consequences.
