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.

Marxism is a step further than socialism. It's not nearly the same, there is wild disagreement on which rights/liberties should be respected. There is plenty of material about that in Wikipedia, too, try not to restrict yourself to one quote.
"Karl Heinrich Marx (5 May 1818 – 14 March 1883) was a German philosopher, sociologist, economic historian, journalist, and revolutionary socialist who developed the socio-political theory of Marxism. " -Wikipedia article
If you tell me that Wikipedia is not a legitimate source for the above information, shall I point you to 10 other sources that will corroborate the above??
You must have been born on another planet.
