I know all this. But the issue is the relevance of any comparison of 
Marx and Nader. If Marx had only been an activist, we wouldn't have 
any idea who he was; his legacy is as a political philosopher. Nader 
isn't much of a writer, and will be remembered mainly, if at all, as 
an organizer and activist. Nader's source of funding is directly 
relevant to evaluating who and what he is; Marx's source of funding 
is irrelevant.
