It was more the point that a republican conservative in the US was calling him a marxist. The same type of people who both hate the marxist ideology, yet so profoundly espouse portions of it as "good ideas" whenever it fits their needs.
This essay written by someone who's opinion I'm fond of, sort of sets the backdrop for my feelings on the whole thing, and says it far better ways than I could have.
Marxist, Nazi, Communist, Socialist, are all buzzwords that the current cookoocachoo conservative movement uses to brand people they don't like, even though their very ideology is rife with those ideas.
EDIT:
and holy shit. I actually agree with FiT's last post....
