And did you read the "National Enquirer" article about marxism a few years ago?
I forget which marxist they were writing about, but apparently he was born
with hooves, and he said that that's what ultimately drove him into marxism.  
Or maybe it was fins; I can't recall exactly.  But in any case, it shows you
what kind of "philosophy" marxism is.  Or maybe it was an anarcho-syndicalist.
I forget the details.  Something in that neighborhood, in any case.
