Yes.My approach to my discipline (Social Anthropology) includes Marx' explanations, but is not limited by them.
My introduction to Marx was a monograph about alienation. I was so impressed I immediately read 'Capital'. I thought,and still think Marx was a genius.
My final year paper was entitled: "Australia is a middle class hegemony".I took the affirmative,demolishing the interactionist argument that Australia is a classless society. I got a distinction.I've always suspected that it didn't hurt that my tutor was the flaming red son of a Yorkshire coal miner.
Having said that I must point out that I remain a pluralist , rejecting all pure ideologies and belief systems.
