There are a few parallels between the Marxists in my story and those in the 'Frankfurt School', the chief one being that the Frankfurt group was mostly talk with relatively little action while those in TPH were willing to kill indiscriminately in large numbers to achieve their goal.sound familiar to the Frankfurt school?
If you are familiar with the plot of Stephen King's novel The Stand, you will see a very major similarity, to that novel. What you will not see is the supernatural.
