The only think I stamped the label Marxist on is the most famous quote
of Marx. It became the banner for Communism. I have no problem with the
analysis of Marxist thought and don't mind it being taught in academia.
In fact, the only Marxists left reside in the halls of academe.
And I most certainly WOULD stamp the label Fundamentalist Christian when
railing against those who would attempt to ban the teaching of evolution.

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.)
