Karl Marx's mother once wrote this about her son : 'If my son Karl had tried to earn some capital instead of writing a book about it, things would have been much better'. Do you agree with her?

Hmm that's a difficult question. In some ways, perhaps I am.

Is it possible to be a marxist in just some ways?

Karl Marx himself was arguably a Marxist only in some ways. In fact, I do not have the exact reference right now, but there is a letter written by him in which he explicitly says that he is NOT a Marxist.

Yo comrade! Here is one entire book devoted to this point : Marx before Marxism by David McLellan (London : Macmillan, 1980)
