I am a Social Innovationist

Now we can have us some interesting, serious and scholarly discussion. Interesting question asked by this young comrade, isnt it? The question is made all the more interesting by the fact that it is difficult, well-nigh impossible to appreciate what the defining attributes of a Marxist are.

 It seems to merely lie in the mouth of anyone who has paged, even cursorily, through any one of the classical texts of Karl Marx, Friederich Engels and/or V.I. Lenin to pronounce themselves Marxists, Marxists-Leninists, Leftists or some such appellations. Well, I have read these classics and more. I remain a social innovationist in the world of ideas.
