I guess I no longer qualify as a Marxist, though I do post a lot here. Funny Justin qualifies, though he rejects the label, and I don't, though I accept it.

And many of the people you list *are* frequent posters. Some of the most frequent, in fact.

But part of the reason I started the list, and continue with it, is that I want Marxists to talk to non-Marxists, and vice versa. I keep hoping that they can have fruitful exchanges rather than call each other names.
