:Hitler was a social theoritician too, with about as good a credentials as Marx in the field.  Should we put Hitler in Category:Philosphers & Category:Sociologists?  [[User:RobSmith|Rob Smith]] 17:45, 6 December 2007 (EST)

::You appear to lack fundamental understanding of sociology as a field. Karl Marx was as much a product of his upbringing as you are. For the same reason the students who started this site believe in God, Marx was the person that he was. He is a product of his social interactions, much like the God fearing parents of American youth bring them up with the same beliefs. If you cannot understand such fundamental concepts of sociology, you should avoid editing any related pages. And thank you for invoking [[Godwin's Law]], you only further demonstrate your lack of maturity. --[[User:TrueGrit|TrueGrit]] 18:47, 6 December 2007 (EST)
    
Are people in the academy still writing about his ideas and applying them to new situations as they are the ideas of Marx? Did Hitler's ideas lead to the work of such a large body of scholars such as Marcuse, Gramsci, Habermas, Jameson, CLR James, Padmore, Althuser, Benjamin, Lukacs, Fiske, Zizek, Dobnik, Foucault, Bhaba, Hebdige, Hall, Wallerstein, etc, etc.???

As someone who has a degree in Sociology, I must state that in the field of Sociology we view Marx as one of three formative theorists. Marx works are extensively studied, and his views in respect of Conflict Theory are a major part of Sociological analysis. Rob, you should consider leaving the editing of these sections to people with some knowledge of the issue. Marx is a sociologist, and you cannot deny that fact just because you don't like him. Have you actually studied any of his work? --[[User:TrueGrit|TrueGrit]] 18:40, 6 December 2007 (EST)
