ED, with all do respect you say you don't know much about Marxism. How would you know then what a socialist person looks like? All the attributes you describe in your bibliography are indicative of the profile of "better" people. I do know something about many of these authors you cite and they are in many cases very liberal in their worldview and not averse to leftist politics. Of course that doesn't make them Marxists. Having said that I think the type of person that is educated to reach their personal potential includes the development of a greater appreciation for their fellow man. IOW "Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country"
