View submission: I'm a ~~Marxist ~~ Nazi and that's ok.
I guess it depends on what perspective you are coming from, but if you consider the history of the Social Democratic Party of Germany, especially during the years leading up to WWI, then Marxism isn't all that narrow of an ideology. Eduard Bernstein was nominally a Marxist, but advocated a reformist approach. Rosa Luxemburg was on the other end of the Marxist spectrum and was--i think--a council communist. Karl Kautsky positioned himself somewhere between the two (he differentiated himself from Bernstein by insisting on the importance of Republicanism as a stepping stone to economic democracy).

I think my comment is still correct. Marx didn't invent communism. He's just the most famous one. So Marxism is a defined theory as shown in his books and writings.
