Well blow me down this is true. From this website director general of the World Trade Organization, Pascal Lamy is happy to have himself described as a Marxist. Might not be the most low key way to get his message across. Anyway, if he hadn't described himself as a Marxist, it would be hard to tell him from a Social Democrat (which he also claims to be). He likes Rawls and doesn't like the French left calling Rawls a 'right wing' philosopher.
