Bob,

Now that's not fair.  It was Frank to failed to allow the distinction, not I.
What I've done is to define the Marxist umbrella, not a Stalinist/Communist umbrella. Those are, fortunately for all of us, very different animals. And at the same time
the social dialectic is, to say the least, the predominant world view today.

And, yes, I do realize that other philosophers have had a great impact on the world.
Nietzsche is as scary as Marx and was responsible for many deaths as well.
