Leftist Americans: Are your economic/political views Marxist / Socialist?

[clonebot]

Which one of these is the closest to your own beliefs? i'm curious.. This is without considering social issues such as homosexuality, abortion, etc .. And when I refer to socialism its not bolshlevik socialism (I.e. godless dictatorship) but the general marxist economic view..

7. John LENNON/Groucho MARX

Marxism was an economic theory had applied specifically to industrial society. The foundation was based in large part on a study of "pre-industrial" societies, including family structures. We are now well beyond "post-industrial" society, deep into the high-tech economic structure, where the family unit is remarkably different than in Marx's time. Hence, it is not really possible to be a Marxist in the present time. Be here now.
