The distinction Daniel makes here seems to me an important one. At a conference of "Radicals in the Professions" I attended at Ann Arbor in the summer of 1966 an econ grad student from Stony Brook posed it as "Are we radical teachers or radicals who teach?" "Radicals who teach" is analogous to such labels as "radicals who operate gear shavers," "radicals who clerk for Safeway," etc. I decided at that time (I was not yet a marxist) that I was a radical who taught (i.e., earned my living by teaching) rather than a radical teacher.
