no. i wanted a pithy way to describe everything your wrote. if you read "anti-government / pro-state Tea Partiers" [or whomever] would you understand my intended meaning in an essay that makes it clear I'm coming from a Marxist perspective?
if you read that phrasing, as a Leftist reading a Left academic journal, would you say, "but but but... that's not it." ?
