Came over from another thread.

It should also be noted that there isn't "one" socialism. There are a lot of different currents within socialism such as libertarian socialism (anarchism). It should also be noted that Marx didn't invent scientific socialism. He "borrowed" from the anarchist, Pierre-Joseph Proudhon's The Politics of Misery, who in turn, "borrowed" from socialists thinkers before him.

I like your critique. Just wanted to add information about extra-Marxist socialism.
