Um, if his mother traveled from country to country teaching English from '77-'83 (he would be 13-19), how was she also teaching History at his high school in the US? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.64.36.85 (talk) 03:53, 17 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Harvard Degree

Harvard does not offer a political science degree. Did Tom receive his degree in Government? That would be most likely. Arcticflora (talk) 02:03, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Arcticflora. Reference #8 is a YouTube video interview with Morello where he says that his actual Harvard diploma says "social studies" so I have edited the lead of the article accordingly. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 02:19, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Liberal political views?

It says in the intro that Morello is a liberal, and then says further down that he identifies as a nonsectarian socialist. Which one is it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by HW7 (talk • contribs) 08:33, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

What makes you think someone cannot be both? Well they can. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 102.65.54.41 (talk) 05:47, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not at all. Your knowledge of politics is really shallow. 2A02:A420:4C:A811:8D47:84E1:1144:82E2 (talk) 02:22, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Communist category

I can't find any resource in which he self-identifies as a Communist, so why is he categorized as an "American Communist"? Treybien2 (talk) 21:10, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
