Funny, though, how so many people have to take a position on it. Amazing that such a supposedly antique and inappropriate doctrine or system or movement could still provoke so much controversy.
Marxism is a subject that it's okay to write about without knowing anything, even among academics and scientists. For example, in Marc Hauser's MORAL MINDS, which is generally a good book, he writes: "Oddly, this move [in John Rawls' theory of justice] has an eerily familiar resemblance to Marxist politics, in which individual significance dissolves into group significance, regardless of effort or talent." [there is no footnote.] -- Jim Devine / "Because things are the way they are, things will not stay the way they are." -- Bertolt Brecht
