Well, Marx's error was in presuming that economics is everywhere and always determinative, and that changing economics therefore would change people. That's just not true. But your riff off that, that social and economic issues aren't easily separable, and influence each other, is in my view 100% correct - which is why I normally default to freedom as my preferred mode, both in economics and in social issues (the shorthand description for this is usually "libertarian," but I'm not uniformly libertarian). Is that a "middle" position? Not really - even though lefties would call me an economic royalist and lover of the rich, and righties would call me a libertine and tolerator of immoral activity.
