Some of Robbins' proponents like to engage in the logical fallacy of
appealing to authority, since Robbins was heir to the Baskin-Robbins ice
cream chain. You are correct, though, that he has no expertise; he is an
activist. None of his biographies online offer bona fides, at least in
terms of education or experience. His work has long revolved around
leftist and non-profit causes (though his book sales and speaking fees
no doubt cause someone, namely him, to profit).
