134. Oh they would and do

the OP though has a pretty superficial understanding. I am grateful to my professors for making us read from different schools of historical interpretation. With Marxism, we had to read both Marx and Engels, and mostly British historians. This was near the fall of the Soviet Union. It was just one of the schools we read. And in that environment it was fascinating.

It gives you a better understanding of both strengths and weaknesses, and all interpretive schools have them. Suffice it to say, using one explanation, in this case the dialectic, to explain all is actually a weakness. Though good Marxist historians come from a deep understanding of modern day economics, and are well read in things like Austrian and Keynes schools of economics, as well as soviet theories. Most who are good can also tear apart central planning, though tell you where it is useful, like in Limited forms in local, state and federal government.

Don't tell my city council, but their five year plans for infrastructure planning are indeed a form of it.
