So is Milton Friedman, Robert Lucas, Ed Prescott, Thomas Sargent, etc. Bad news Righties, you’re plainly a bit thick disadvantaged and discriminated against. This sort of polling misses an important issue. The answer is, I think, the simple one that facts never speak for themselves and that even the process of digging for them presupposes some principle of selection. As regards political strategy, an emphasis always present in Marx’s thought, but more explicitly formulated by Lenin, was that a social group or a party is generally impotent if it confines itself either to general propaganda of ideas or to being a sect of theorists or experts that tries to pull off some plan of social regeneration by palace intrigue or backstairs influence. You can only change society when you have brought about in men a change of heart. You can only change human nature by changing the economic conditions in which men live. Few issues could be more fundamental to the framing of any political program; and it is a question on which it is clearly impossible for any active citizen not to take a view. As an example I pointed out about the SIS operative who had been outed at Auckland University political science classes (his name was possibly Evans, but that was 50 years ago and I forget) and how all the left wing people at the university had gone silly. Marx had many original and valid critiques as well solid economic analysis. About 18 percent of social scientists in the United States self-identify as Marxists, compared to only about 5 percent who identify as conservatives, Dunn and Shields reported.
But if there was a private organization that cared about quality education as a good in itself that would be fine too.
Universities are the bedrock of progressive values, but the one kind of diversity that universities disregard is ideological and religious.
Which leaves about 75% who fall somewhere in between. The editor of a political science journal just rejected an article I submitted about certain aspects of socialism, saying that my article was well-written but not topically interesting, because few political scientists, he said, are bona-fide socialists.
Marxism was nonsense. But as a method of interpreting the twentieth-century scene—moreover, as a remarkably early forecast of its leading features—its claims also rank very high. It was a casual comment.
Perhaps the “Progressive takeover” is a takeover of another sort?
This is not to say that he denied altogether that analogies could be found between the workings of different types of system (still less that he regarded Political Economy as consisting only of a study of capitalist society): merely that such analogies were likely to be less important than the contrasts and their significance could only be assessed after one had established the differentia. How many people are going to study how society actually works and afterwards register as a Republican?
The former have been treated as concrete elements and particular moments in the latter (neglect of the former resulting in barren doctrinaire sectarianism and isolation and neglect of the latter in rudderless opportunism). A valid email address is required to post comments on EconLog and EconTalk.–Econlib Ed.]. Oh I mean the state systematically funding universities (maybe just the stem fields and other fields where the increased tax take justifies the expenditure).
The central problem with this survey- and by extension, castigating people who call themselves as Marxist as being akin to creationists- is that it doesn’t tell us what the respondents mean when they say they are Marxists. You may be right that for the right to win this battle they need to start systematically funding universities in order to ensure that universities have a standard of education. Lazarsfeld found the liberalism of social scientisis unsurprising. While your description is accurate for some creationist views, it is not so for all of them and especially not so for any relevant usage of the term today in modern religious philosophy. They might have problems attracting staff with an explicitly political agenda. This is further reflected in the general lack of hygiene amongst many of the staff,I had so many lecturers who had bad breath or body odour it was not funny. Does that make me a bearded Marxist Muslim? Far less are Republican. When ideas are in a very special alignment with all other elements in the social situation—in particular, with the state of class relations—they may result in revolution; but only when they are in this particular relation to the general constellation. Economists assume that people have to values other than the desire for more materials goods. As we have seen, the causal sequence for Marx was essentially from the socioeconomic structure of a given society to its ideology, and not the converse. Whatever you think, in terms of citations and academic impact, Marx is the top among economists and social scientists in general. We’re fine with people who don’t look like us, as long as they think like us. For hundreds of millions of persons, the ideas of Marx as communicated by Vladimir Ilich Lenin had profound moral, even bordering on religious, significance. Even the lecturer, who was some 20 years my junior, lacked knowledge of Gramsci and his ideological background.
Perhaps I may be allowed to quote Professor Ginsburg who has written somewhere on the functions of the State that these are to promote the common good and to define and maintain a system of rights. I am not quite sure whether this is intended as a statement of an ideal or of a fact.
Where do you think that assumption comes from?
In contrast, economists remain influential.

Professor Stephen Hicks, who wrote a book called “Explaining Postmodernism” on the connection between old-line Marxism and the newer “postmodern” leftism, says there are two major links in thought. Marxism has been tried repeatedly in our time and can be studied. Marxist is such a strong term that this study offers little value. Because creationism is nonsense. Four studies found that the proportion of professors in the humanities who are Republicans ranges between 6 and 11 percent, and in the social sciences between 7 and 9 percent. Mostly no, of course not.
I think it is difficult to define oneself in what school of thought, to begin with. Economists assume that people have to values other than the desire for more materials goods. The basis of this is the common undialectical conception of cause and effect as rigidly opposite poles, the total disregarding of interaction; these gentlemen forget that once an historical element has been brought into the world by other elements, ultimately by economic facts, it also reacts in its turn and may react on its environment and even on its own causes..

Most students and professors tend to be a Keynesian even they do not know, thus would not classify themselves. What’s next, “He’s a cultural capitalist”? But I don't see how you really know what Trump or Sanders would do (who really does know what's in Trump's mind?). In contrast, some 18 percent of social scientists say they are Marxist. Moreover, it must not only run with this stream, but fuse with it, and in doing so influence it.
Has his understanding been refined and extended, yes.
