The core analysis of Socialism is that the root of most social problems in industrial society stems from the laborers not owning the land and capital upon which they depend to make a living.

In this sense it is technically possible to be socialist and also be in favor of a competitive market structure. Marx infamously had the American sections of the 1st International thrown out because most of them were of this inclination.

What would be required for such a view, that the Market and Competition are forces for good but thwarted by the evil monopolist/absentee-capitalist/absentee-landlord to become the dominant socialist tendency the world over?
