"He championed the rights of workers, regarded capitalist society as brutal and unjust, and sought a third way between communism and the free market. In this regard, he and his associates greatly admired the strong steps taken by President Franklin Roosevelt'­s New Deal to take large-scal­e economic decision-m­aking out of private hands and put it into those of government planning agencies. His aim was to institute a brand of socialism that avoided the inefficien­cies that plagued the Soviet variety, and many former communists found his program highly congenial. He deplored the selfish individual­ism he took to be endemic to modern Western society, and wanted to replace it with an ethic of self-sacri­fice: "As Christ proclaimed 'love one another'," he said, "so our call -- 'people's community,­' 'public need before private greed,' 'communall­y-minded social consciousn­ess' -- rings out.! This call will echo throughout the world!"

He had a lifelong passion for music, art, and architecture, and was even something of a painter. He rejected what he regarded as petty bourgeois moral hang-ups, and he and his girlfriend "lived together" for years. He counted a number of homosexuals as friends and collaborators, and took the view that a man's personal morals were none of his business; some scholars of his life believe that he himself may have been homosexual or bisexual. He was ahead of his time where a number of contemporary progressive causes are concerned: he disliked smoking, regarding it as a serious danger to public health, and took steps to combat it; he was a vegetarian and animal lover; he enacted tough gun control laws;

is it this guy?
