Marxists are good people Mine approves of, ergo, Barrington Moore and Immanuel
Wallerstein are Marxists, even though they rejected the label, while John Roemer and
Jon Elster are not Marxists, even though they say they are. And _I_ am most definitely
not a Marxist, whatever I say I am. --jks

Aren't you giving labels to people in fact? I mean, would Wallerstein
accept the appelation, "World System Marxist" ? I got my MA in his dept
and I don't recall his ever using that term to describe his approach.
You excoriate anyone who uses game theory in their Marxism as
'non-Marxist', even when they think of themselves as and call themselves
Marxist, yet writers who don't call themselves Marxist like Wallerstein
and Barrington Moore are Marxist in your book and worthy of praise as the
correct kinds of Marxists. Just sounds sloppy to me, forget at what level
we're talking about.
