Wikipedia's policy on biographies of living persons ( WP:BLP) puts severe restrictions on statements about living persons.
To comply with this, I have prefaced every discussion of Gershman's social-democratic youthful politics with his 2006 statement "confessing" that he was a "social democrat of sorts".
I note that a 1993 discussion "Does the U.S. need a social democratic movement?", sponsored by Social Democrats, USA, had Gershman stating his preference for Jefferson, Madison, and Wilson over Karl Marx and company.

Given his statements since 1993, I think it obligatory not to state that he is currently a social democrat (or that he has been in the last 20 years) and to state some kind of disclaimer before discussing his politics through 1980.
