Marxist vs. Marxist theorist

What is your thought in making Category:Marxists in distinction to subcat Category:Marxist theorists? It would seem that both I (in a very modest way) and Stephen Jay Gould (in an esteemed way) would belong just as well in the latter subcat. In fact, kinda anyone in the first would seem to (not necessarily everyone who is, e.g. a "Communist" or "Socialist", as in a political party member, would belong there; but everyone who is a "Marxist" as generally used).

In possible defense of your distinction, Levi-Strauss famously remarked that he and Sartre had only one thing in common, that they were both Marxists. But while both are great "theorists", neither took as their object of thought the field of Marxism (at least not in the main). Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 05:42, 23 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
