No. I distinguished between Marxists and other kinds of hard leftists. I am the latter myself. Singer takes good positions on lots of things, but his approach is indivisualistic and nonstructural. For example, his solution to world hunger is individual charity. Anyway, he's not in the Princeton phil dept, so you are changing the subject.
