Well, I think you can make an argument to include Marx in the larger political philosophy that streams, historically, toward the present stances of the American left. But it's not "rooted" in Marxism.

It's as much "rooted" in Locke and Mills as in Marx. And there's more than a little of New England transcendentalism, John's Dewey's progressivism, etc.

Marx is in the mix just not the basic ingredient.
