Talk:Political Ideologies

I doubt I'm in a good position to really do much, but still, having seen what mess the TVT version of the Political Ideologies page devolved into, please feel free to offer up suggestions.

The TVT page's Marxism section was completely rewritten in April 2013 (Discussion tab). I suggest doing the same. Some notes on what's wrong with it (I got from the user who rewrote it):

• "Marxism cannot be reduced simply to economic determinism." Calling historical materialism economic determinism is oversimplifying it. (Paper on the subject)
• "Money and commodities are also capital, not just 'machines'. Also, capital is a social relation in Marx rather than a thing per se."
• To claim that “Marx argued that the collapse of feudalism came from the enraged peasantry who had finally had enough and rebelled against their aristocratic masters.” might be incorrect. ("Marx focused on the bourgeoisie as the revolutionary class in the transition of feudalism to capitalism. Also Marx had a negative view of the peasantry, seeing them as a reactionary class.")
