I'm guessing hardly anyone outside of rabid right-wingers and people ignorant of what Marxism actually is thought "she made it so clear that she's a Marxist."

Maybe I used a little bit of hyperbole. Unfortunately (given she is very likely going to be president), I probably wasn't using very much hyperbole.

American's "left" party is about as conservative as a leftist party gets in the Western world, and Hillary Clinton is a rather moderate member of that party. She's nothing close to a Marxist. I realize "Marxist" is some kind of catch-all word for right anarchists and libertarians to call anyone who doesn't want to dismantle the government, but "Marxism" does actually have a stricter definition than that, and Clinton doesn't really fit the mold.
