The point I was making is that what Marx believed is called Marxism and not socialism. They differ in a number of ways.
1.One is the Marxism is derived from the Hegelian German tradition of a dialectical view of social change.
2.Marxism argues that socialism is a possible, but not necessary step between capitalism and marxism. The more revolutionary the more likely this step should be avoided.
3. Read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marxism and notice how they use socialism and in what context. They use it in opposition of Marxism and Communism.
