I've come to thiink of the Socialist/Communist _movement_ as rather larger than "Marxism," though I personally believe that Marx's Critique of Capitalism is the best (for me only) adequate theoretical foundation for the movment. But no movement gets far that demands theoretical purity from its particpants, and a Communist Movement that did not include rather large numbers of non-Marxists would hardly constitute a movement. (The CPUSA would not have been much without its many "fellow travellers," a labvel that ought to be seen as noble rather sneered at.) I think I've argued before that a sofialist revlution would involve many who up to the moment of Yes/No ( the eve of an insurrection) would not consider themselves revolutionaries.
I don't know whtether this bears on Klein or not.
