Is the Democrat Party influenced by Marx?

[Dr. Cynic]

Another thing, AN- you should have defined exactly what you meant by 'influenced.'

I think you could say Republicans have influences like Milton Friedman, Friedrich Hayek, Adam Smith, etc. 

Democrats have influences like John Maynard Keynes, Che Guevara, and Marx.   You could make the argument that American democrats are influenced by European socialists(who are influenced by Marx) rather than Marx himself.     

Yep. I've made up my mind. I don't like you.
