  Healthy marxism and healthy capitalism actually look pretty similar. A free market for people, aware of their market value and able to move between employers without artificial restriction looks a whole lot like the proletariat seizing the means of production.

  American politicians are, for very good reasons, defensive about coming off as Socialist (except Bernie Sanders). Coming off as Marxist is completely out of the picture. But 'patio11 is not a politician and I expect his language reflects strength of feeling more than anything else.
