"More about getting things done" seems to me a nearly perfect description of the practice. And that brings us back to marxism as a set of tools for understanding and acting in the world rather than a belief system to which one owes allegiance. The core of xtianity, it seems to me, is that belief in itself is the highest good (Whosoever believeth in me etc), and I put no stock whatever in belief as an end in itself.
