Was not Owen a Socialist

He became one and probably invented the concept.
He was also a wealthy philanthropist reformer and factory owner.
What exactly have I said that you disagree with?

This was my comment that started this dispute, "The reforms were not achieved by "trades unions" Jim.
They were achieved by wealthy philanthropists and reformers, usually motivated by their Christian faith."

Do you dispute that or anything else I have said, and if so what?
