Yes, and you are anything but..... Really.... I mean it....

Yeah, Tech one, and I don't believe anything you say that isn't followed by a link- you have made up so many facts and figures that you should be part of the Bush economic team.

Have you ever even taken a college economics course? At all? My old Disertation advisor sort of re-wrote-the-book on economics (earning one of these sweedish pennies in the process), and started one of the worlds best Economics programs. Last I checked, Marx was not an offering... And yes, that is a top East Coast 'liberal' institution.

In fact, the only course Marx is taught as a predominant theme in is in Rhetoric/Literature classes in english departments, due to his notion of the Dialectic. You might find him as a minor player in obscure graduate history courses as well.

No philosophy department I have EVER visited, worked with or etc has had a 'Marxist' on staff, and MOST (like 90%) of economics professors are Business men in some stage of retirement (highest paid academic career short of some engineering fields). I have NEVER met a marxist economist.

Marxist economics 101 abounding on college is like most of your so-called facts... A myth or a figment of your fevered right-leaning mind.. Aside from the occasional media splash about whosits and whatsists at Goddard College in vermont, youd be hard pressed to find a single undergraduate class ANYWHERE that was about marxist philosophy.
