I think we disagree in a couple major ways. I don't take at face value the text written by the creators of an ideology to be its only ideas, without searching for subtext or underlying motivations. I also don't think that the actions that people take under the banner of a political ideology are necessarily separate from that ideology. Those are interpretative generosities rarely extended to political ideologies. I'm very cautious to extend them to Marxism given the bloody history of regimes that believe in it. For your information, I have read the Manifesto and Capital. I do not think that's all there is to Marxism.
