Dean Preston is a self-described socialist. A socialist is not a conservative.

His instagram bio reads "Housing advocate, democratic socialist", so if self-descriptions are taken as truth, it kinda undermines the whole point of the argument.

Well, but a self-described socialist might just not be a socialist.

My guess is that a Chinese communist is not a leftist.
