Marxism itself has been described as a philosophy and Marx as a moral philosopher. Eg among many other things, Marx argues capitalism is innately immoral. My own position is that no political ideology of which I'm aware can be isolated from philosophy or moral sensibilities.
I must admit I have read very little on political philosophy,although I took a fairly solid Marxist line in some of the anthropology papers I wrote at university.

"Political Philosophy",edited by Anthony Quinton is worth a glance. (my copy: Oxford University press,1968)
Chapter headings include:
"Are there natural rights?", " Two Concepts of liberty", "Two Concepts of Democracy" and "Justice and the common good"
