Can you define Marxist? I see it thrown around a lot, but define it. What is the difference between a Marxist, Communist, and Socialist. Or, do we just have to keep changing the insult word once the current one loses its bite (RINO has become GOP-e now)?

Can you reply to the substance of any of my posts without singling out a single word and going off on a tangent about something that has little to do with the discussion? Define Marxism? Socialism? Communism? Why? You want their definitions, go to Wikipedia.

Most trolls respond in that manner when they have no answer to the argument. I have seen it a lot. You may not be an actual troll, so with all due respect, I suggest that you stop responding like one.

A marxist is someone who studies and practices the teachings and manifesto of karl marx. To be a marxist, one must be a communist... but not all communists are marxists... although they all follow the same basic tenants. Then you have Communists... who can be marxists, or muslims, or maoists or even a kennedy. Then you have socialists... who are people that want a Big Central Command government and want cradle to the grave support for every facet of their lives. They too are communists... they either are too stupid to adimit it... or are afraid to admit it to themselves... or they cannot make up their mind which school of communism to follow.
