Talk:Marxist schools of thought

Re-sectioning of "Marxist theology" with proposed Edit to follow in a day

When part of an article seems to be badly awry, it sometimes helps to look at earlier Edits to see if something went wrong along the way. In the earlier history of this aricle before it was moved from Marxism, there was this Edit[1] that:

1. re-placed "Marxist theology" (deleted by the same editor in the previous Edit) to become the lead section previously titled "Western Marxism" so that subsections that followed became (improbable) variants of "Marxist theology" ("Frankfurt school" etc.)
2. moved the title and lead of "Western Marxism" so that subsections included only the subsection of "Key Western Marxists" (but not "Frankfurt school" etc.)

I propose to:

1T. Move up Marxist schools of thought#Post-Stalin Moscow-aligned communism to precede "Western Marxism" (to follow closely other pre-1960s material as more chronologically ordered)

2T. move up "Frankfurt school" etc. to follow "Key Western Marxists"

3T. have "Marxist theology" as last of the "Western Marxism" section.

Comments welcome. I believe that almost everyone might agree that the proposal is an improvement over the current ordering and (sub)sectioning. Further tweaks might follow that if necessary. I'll do the Edit in a day if there is no consensus otherwise. Thanks. --Thomasmeeks (talk) 12:12, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

This is a bad idea. I'm the one who originally created the "post-Stalin Moscow-aligned communism" section along with the rest of the Marxism-Leninism section not because the chronology was important but because I was looking for a neutral description of the ideology in the Soviet Union after the 22nd congress of the CPSU. I doubt that proponents of "Revisionism", a more common term for their trend would consider it NPOV. Ibarrutidarruti (talk) 18:32, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
