  Why then not dropping this name "Marxism" (even with a big "M") which 
makes it appear as a doctrine? 

  Why not simply talking about science? About a scientific analysis of 
all which exists? Without the slightest fear neither from our own 
discoveries, nor from conflict with the powers that be, as Charlie Marx 
happend to write in 1843? 

  I for my part am not any <name that person>-ist.
