But if the latter, it can be cited as an apt contrast to the Marxian dictum that the State is essentially (in Engels’ famous words) an organization of the exploiting class for the maintenance of its external conditions of production, that is, for the forcible retention of the exploited class in such conditions of oppression (such as slavery, serfdom, wage-labor) as are determined by the given methods of production. The State, he goes on, was the official representative of society as a whole, its embodiment in a visible corporation; but it was this only in so far as it was the State of that class which itself, in its epoch, represented society as a whole., A second feature of the Marxian method is its insistence on the historical-relative character of social laws. So is Milton Friedman, Robert Lucas, Ed Prescott, Thomas Sargent, etc. And as others have pointed out, many people can have Marxist leanings without explicitly identifying as a Marxist. I can’t believe anyone take such a survey seriously! The Stifling of Ideas in American Universities,” focused on the scarcity of conservative professors and students in the social sciences, with the panelists noting that conservatives are outnumbered in the field even by self-proclaimed Marxists.

If an economist argued that economic order is created by divine design or intention, surely that economist would deserve – and receive – ridicule, and other economists who expressly reject that creationist economist’s explanation for observed economic order would likewise not be guilty of ignorance on this front. “Right wing academic” is most definitely an oxymoron in New Zealand. But it also extends beyond universities. Is it someone who thinks history is shaped by economic forces? @Tom West, it’s easy to be a biologist and be a creationist. Smith’s famous comment that it was upon the self-interest, not the benevolence, of the butcher and the baker that we all relied for our daily sustenance). @4.47 That is a distinction that appears to be lost on some. It can scarcely be disputed, I think, that the bias of traditional economic thought has been towards treating the economic situation, not only in terms of social harmony, but mechanically in terms of equilibrium as a stable system. After all, with student loans now coming almost solely from the US government, there’s no reason that universities can’t just keep raising fees to pay for it all. “Those that can do. And unlike Marx, his work is still relevant today. To clarify a point that I made in my initial post: anyone who considers socialism to be achievable, even in theory, is seriously mistaken.

As regards political strategy, an emphasis always present in Marx’s thought, but more explicitly formulated by Lenin, was that a social group or a party is generally impotent if it confines itself either to general propaganda of ideas or to being a sect of theorists or experts that tries to pull off some plan of social regeneration by palace intrigue or backstairs influence. For those who do shift left, they’re generally being taught not just traditional socialism, but also a newer “postmodern” variant.
