But sociology describes ideas, not material properties, thus would fit in the middle column.
Anyway, my point was that neither a system of government/economy nor pushing ideas are ways of describing the world. It’s the description aspect that defines the chart here, so I don’t think actions fit.

This is a fundamentally idealist way of viewing sociology, although most sociology you’re exposed to is idealist in nature.

??? What does that have to do with Marxism? I think the disconnect here is that you do not understand what Marxism is, you have only had second and third hand exposure to it.
Marxism and MLism as an ideology is fundamentally about studying the relationships between things through: looking at past history and current conditions, hypothesizing, and testing that hypothesis.
Interesting. It seems like Marxism isn’t a science so much as a philosophy about sciences. You’re correct that it extends far fuether than I had assumed.
I do maintain that the chart is using incorrect language in describing it’s categories though. Many of them are describing something that could be part of study or the result of study, but not a science themselves. Toy destruction isn’t a science, but the destruction of toys could be part of one.

Perhaps I don’t know what Markism is. Is it a school of thought, or a subcategory of sociology? An Ought or an Is?
