Well, Robespierre died before Marx was born but what about now?
I remember seeing tape of a famous speech Felipe Gonzalez made, I don't know if he was already Spanish prime minister or not, but he was saying emphatically "we can be socialists without being Marxists." You can't argue against that but do you think it was a good move?
