You're calling them "Marxists" because they paid lip service to Marx, hence my query about whether you are conflating them. I certainly haven't - nowhere have I claimed that the so-called Communist, Socialist or Marxist states were any such thing, in the sense that they adhered to the actual economic doctrines.... ...which they obviously didn't. (Ironically, Marx thought the state would "wither away" in a true communist society.) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
