A good read so I look up this authore and find this,

“Hubbard described himself as an anarchist and a socialist.[6] He believed in social, economic, domestic, political, mental and spiritual freedom.[7] In A Message to Garcia and Thirteen Other Things (1901), Hubbard explained his Credo by writing “I believe John Ruskin, William Morris, Henry Thoreau, Walt Whitman and Leo Tolstoy to be Prophets of God, and they should rank in mental reach and spiritual insight with Elijah, Hosea, Ezekiel and Isaiah.”[8]

Hubbard wrote a critique of war, law and government in the booklet Jesus Was An Anarchist (1910). Originally published as The Better Part in A Message to Garcia and Thirteen Other Things, Ernest Howard Crosby described Hubbard’s essay as “The best thing Elbert ever wrote.”[9]”

This piece reads as common sense conservative today. Has the, “left” really moved this far? I know, I know...

Wow. I never would have guessed. Funny how even leftists back then believed in God.
