First of all, MLJ is a wimp for not saying this to Fromm's face.
Secondly, I agree with MLJ. The only people who would say they "don't want to get political" when asked about social inequality are those who have a problem with the movement. Period. If they thought social injustice was a problem that needed addressing, they would not lead with not wanting to get political, because it shouldn't be a political issue. I have no doubt what side Fromm is on.
