Either "Marxism" designates a set of doctrines different from general science and a political movement distinct from the revolutionary political movement to take power by the working class, then it is a sectarian doctrine which makes its differences with the general movement its shibboleth, or the designation "Marxism" is superfluous and should be dropped.
