i never said the "club" was exclusive... just that you aren't a part of it. i realize that can sound like a personal attack without benefit of verbal or facial expression. please do not take it so.
as to the marxism comment: your language takes the shape of a marxist, even though you seem to believe that it (marxism) is dead for all intents and purposes. my perception that you subscribe to a type of marxism is both a personal observation and taken from your own words found here
