Rob, why do you have a problem with categorizing Marx as a socilogist? Capital goes beyond being an analysis of political economy to an examination of the sociological effects (as Marx understood them) of that political economy. Please discuss. [[User:Claude|Claude]] 17:16, 6 December 2007 (EST)

:So, Is this the "poor Marx, he was misunderstood by [[mass murder]]ers" school of logic? We can save ourselves a lot of time and trouble right now. [[User:RobSmith|Rob Smith]] 17:38, 6 December 2007 (EST)

No, it's not - in fact, you can read my comments on that subject on the Main Page talk page, where I clearly disavow those sorts of apologetics. What I'm saying is that one cannot ignore the fact that Marx's work had huge impacts on several fields - 18th Bruimaire is a key historical text, for example - just because one (rightfully) holds communism in low regard.
