There are several types of socialism-Bolshevism is an extreme example. Many of the bitterest foes of the Soviet Union were socialist such as Norman Thomas.
Hey, that's a fair enough point. I agree with ya there. Though I still contend that the type of socialism (or, at least, the path to socialism) envisioned by Jack London was a bit short sighted, at least from what one can glean from the Iron Heel...
Very possibly so. However, do remember that London was writing prior to any actual socialist state.
