My $0.02 re:Marxism and ideologs....

I think the combo of Danielle, Tom and Kevin have summed up a lot of arguments
concisely--yes, Marxism is still a vital field of study, often abused adn
equally often misused (ideologically), and no neither it nor any other theory
has all the answers so we must integrate and pick and choose....

Incidentally, I can't stand Jonathan Turner--and everyone in Kentucky knows
it.  The amount of theory he writes off as "nonsociological" (Ideology?)
encompasses most of the rigorous thinking happening in this and many other
disciplines....   Meredith
