Vulgar vs. Non-Vulgar Marxism? Any Takers?

Question: Vulgar vs. Non-Vulgar Marxism? Any Takers?

Question Details: Hint: Bloom, C.o.t.A.M., Pg. 220

Violation Reason: ? Whuh? No one (including the YA staff seems to know, which is curious because they’re the ones who deleted the question and failed to explain why. Generally, if ya’ can’t explain it…it means ya’ don’t understand it. Now just put that sprig of straw back in ‘yer mouth and mosey on…YA staff…
They deleted this question because YA staff didn’t understand it. That’s Okay…as long as they grow and learn with the rest of us in the philosophy section…
I expect that they (YA staff) won’t make that mistake again.
Thanks everyone for the responses. Thanks H/T for your input regarding innappropriately deleted As.

70 DELETED As!!!!!!! I was more right than I thought! That is an absolutely horrid deed on the part of YAT for which they should be ashamed.

And, LOL what an appropriate description:
I’ve been intellectually violated….

Vulgar Marxism is classic Marxism. Meaning Marxism straight from the works of the early communist community (Marx, Engels,etc.). This is the boring Marx that believes in economic determinism. Not that interesting with it’s robotic understanding of human nature.

Non-vulgar Marxism is really Marx meets Nietzsche. This bastard creation of thought is Marxism that gets to talk about all the fun stuff Nietzsche came up with: transvaluation of values (now part of economic determinism), the last man, the overman, etc. All of Nietzsche’s notions and thoughts incorporated into the modern secular religion of our Universities: Marxism. Of course, I am simplifying things here, which Non-vulgar Marxism avoids like the plague, but this is the essence of Non-vulgar Marxism. It is an easy way for English professors to sound deep without seriously questioning their beliefs.

By the way, removing your question was a classic example of Vulgar Marxism. Telling you the question is insensitive and making you go to a psychologist would be Non-vulgar Marxism. Of course, they would express how much they love toleration as they intolerantly remove you and your offending question.
