Its a nonsense question . . its like saying "would you have have sex with jealousy?" or "would you like to play tennis with Marxism?".
Or asking a piece of lint if it wants some cheese?

Sorry, but this thread nneds more of that. I'm just picturing mutant Canadian doubles with Marx, Engles, Lenin, and Mao on one side of the net and me on the other. "Engles and Marx are engaged in a frank and animated discussion of the historical dialectic while Mao and Lenin stare coldly at each other. Here's the service, and..... Another Ace! 40-Love. We'd like to remind the audience that the winner of this match gets a night of romance with... GOD Himself!"

But your point is taken - Marxism is the idea, not the ideators, and God is a, to be a tad perjorative, a semantic convenience to encompass a bunch of not necessarily related ideas.
