Yeah, I think the most accurate term would be “neo-Marxist”. Meaning those intellectual Marxists who didn’t notice that communism collapsed. Their heroes are Castro and Chavez. They supported Obama in the hope that he would be a Castro or Chavez. So far, their hopes have been realized.

I agree. A neo-Marxist essentially agrees with Marx's critique of capitalism and Lenin's blueprint on how to seize power.

However, a neo-Marxist is also a stealth Marxist. That is, they have all the ideological trappings, but they understand that their political careers would end if they actually confessed to what they believed.

Hence the lying, the shifting, the obfuscations, the grand and fuzzy rhetoric that characterize 0’s life in politics.
