>Marx's slogan: From each according to his ability, to each according to 
>his need.

The cons and neocons seem to believe that invoking the name of Marx 
somehow washes away the possibility of any sensible thought. Just stamp 
"Marxist" on anthing and everything they don't like and they think the 
matter is settled.

It is highly unlikely that 100% of what Marx said or wrote is evil. Take 
the quote above. What's wrong with it? About the worst one can say about 
it is that it is unrealisticly hopeful about the soul of mankind. What 
would Jesus say? Was Jesus a Marxist? Why don't our cons start stamping 
ideals with the term "Christian" before they rail against them?

(With apologies to all non-Christians. Being inclusive would have made 
the above argument harder to follow.)
