[edit] Criticism
This article is a piece of crap
- Agreed. I felt that way ever since I saw the article created. I spared it from AFD because I thought someone would eventually rewrite it. Anyone have any ideas on what to do with it? Solarusdude 19:54, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

- I think it should be gutted, leaving just a minimal non-biased definition of economism. Remove all of the POV and Michael Moore insults and so on. Rlove 15:46, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
"Economism" appears to be a straw man. —Ashley Y 03:16, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] This article does not appear to salvagable.
This article should probably be deleted.
- I agree. I've never heard of "Economism", and the article is so NPOV that it hurts. Tamino 09:42, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
- Having seen the French article (fr:Économisme), perhaps something can be salvaged after all (if my GCSE French was enough to understand that article...). But a VERY major restructuring and rewriting is needed. Is there anyone who can be quoted as believing in "Economism"? Tamino 09:50, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
I am currently studying Marxism and have come across the term in the writings of Luxemburg, Lenin, Kautsky, Bernstein, etc... I'm not sure of its precise meaning (hence I am here looking). From the context in which it is used, however, I think it is pejorative for an ideology of economic materialism which leaves no room for political activity. Lenin, who advocated a vanguard party to facilitate revolution, incessantly criticized others for adhering to economism. 206.248.227.78 21:43, 21 December 2006 (UTC)Brad
[edit] Disambig
Economism has a different meaning in the study of marxism. It mean (IIRC) connecting party line with demands of workers. It should be discussed in the article.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk 18:36, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
- I disagree, but only in kind - economism is a very specific, technical term that arises in Marxian and heterodox economic theory. It bears only a passing resemebelence to the concept outlined here, and this article is exceedingly flimsy. I strongly recommend that this article be deleted, as it has no real merits and is basically devoid of sources. Haemo 07:39, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
