He also has strong opinions about the homeless and how we should do nothing and just let them die in the streets.

Your friend is no leftist

He’s more of a tankie than he knows. He’s firmly in the camp of “if they don’t work/contribute, then let them die”.

Ask him how he feels about nationalism

He doesn’t think there should be nations.
