Socialism in one country

[edit]

The article states, 'He [Morris] composed the SL's manifesto with Bax, describing their position as that of "Revolutionary International Socialism", advocating proletarian internationalism and world revolution while rejecting the concept of socialism in one country.'

This doesn't make any sense. The theory of socialism in one country developed after the October Revolution, in particular due to the failures of revolutions in Western Europe.

Morris obviously can't have 'reject[ed]the concept' as the article states, he died decades before it came to be. 80.192.40.77 (talk) 11:30, 7 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

You really think "the concept of socialism in one country" hadn't ever occurred to anyone before Russian MLs? Johnbod (talk) 15:25, 7 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
Lenin and others really thought the capitalist dominoes would start falling after the fall of the Russian Empire. "Socialism in One Country" was a pragmatic foreign policy where the Russians would not try to spread communism through Europe immediately after the First World War.

Add wife Jane Morris to Personal Life?

[edit]

I see Jane Morris being mentioned only as a caption to an image in the Personal Life section, but nothing is said of their life, marriage, or anything together. Seems like a pretty big miss. Every modern celebrity's relationships are listed under Personal Life on Wiki, if they are known. 2601:5CB:4000:5620:FDD4:9E43:D4E2:2E4A (talk) 14:49, 15 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

Questions on the legacy of Morris' poems

[edit]

I don't understand the significance of Morris' poetry on Victorian literature from the introduction. Did someone write this to say "by the way, this otherwise important person became a published author" as trivia, or did it leave a serious legacy?
