    One ends in "ist" and the other in "ian"...that&#39;s really the only difference, its used namely in academic fields; rather than "Marxist Economics" it&#39;s the "Marxian School of Economics". It also sounds cooler&#33;

    Also Marxian post-modernism could mean their heavily influenced by Marx and Marxist but not strictly Marxists. So Marxian give them more latitude then Marxist.

    Marxist: somebody who supports or practices "Marxism" -- the revolutionary theoretical works of Karl Marx; someone either linking to, supporting, or implementing "Marxism".

    Marxian: relating to the theoretical and practical "works" of Karl Marx.

    How does that go over?

    MC and EI are on point here.

    I find that in political readings the term Marxist is used more often, but in sociological readings I find the term Marxian is much more prevolent.

    It&#39;s strange though, because I thought Marxist could refer to both supposed meanings.

    As did I, which led me to some confusion over the diffrerence between the two.
