    Yeah, that’s something that bothers me… If you can’t accept some of the mains aspects of Marxism… Why be one? There’s been always non Marxist branches of communism that ain’t Materialist.

      Well marxism is certainly not the only socialism (and by damn definition diffuse even communism stopped meaning “strictly marxist” at some point), but as pointed out by Lenin in “Materialism and Empiriocriticism” all others are idealist. And even “almost” materialist revision attempts like machism leads to opportunism, even though that philosophical core might seem very distant and unimportant to average communist.
