4 FOR CRITERIA FOR BEING A MARXIST

In 1980, Robert L. Heilbroner's MARXISM: For and Against was published by Norton and he claimed there were 4 necessary and sufficient conditions for describing a person or organization as Marxist (pp. 20-21) :
1) A dialectical approach to knowledge
2) A strictly materialist approach to history
3) A view of capitalism based upon Marx's socioanalysis
4) A commitment to socialism
