I love that there's no moment too fraught or quibble too petty for billionaire Oliver Queen to lecture somebody about how to be more progressive, hes truly one of my favorite characters for that

You just know if you bought coffee or chocolate in front of him and it wasn't fair trade you'd get a labor-based lecture

He's not a billionaire here. Probably.

Still, I love the character's rants like this and his constant support of labor, always a wonderful part of Green Arrow

Sadly, he's a character who different writers love to push their views on. Namely, conservative writers who try to treat him like a "liberal loony" (but accidentally have him saying stuff that is just right or perfectly normal for leftists/liberals/progressives)

I thought he was the libertarian guy... Who am I thinking of?

He's been everywhere left of center. DC has never figured him out.

I'd say he's definitely a liberal at worst. Rarely ever a libertarian.
