Unfortunately, I have to admit to not understanding half of this talk 
that I'm reading as I have not studies Marx, Calvin, or the others 
that are being mentioned.  Too many of the categories and labels used 
are unfamiliar to me.  So I'm not sure what to say here.  I tried to 
start a description of how I categorize such things, but it quickly 
got muddled and I had to delete it.  

So I'm unsure of how to approach this difficulty.
