I assume you're grabbing from one of Marx's writings to particular groups at the time, which is not anything to do with the worldview of marxism focusing on a materialistic examination of history.The pope is certainly not a marxist, and even if he was, he is simply someone who holds a worldview based on dialectical materialism, again, marxism is just a worldview, unless you refer to marxism-leninism,Maoism,etc..We reject this Marxist "Pope"
"Marxism is just a world view?" So was Nazism, numskull.
Marxism is a worldview, many modern marxists find their homes in university settings, and nazism is a worldview, until someone acts on it. There is nothing to act on within marxism unless you go towards its extensions.
