        Not really, and while he's not totally wrong about the process of primitive accumulation helping reduce class tensions, his material analysis is flawed because he wasn't actually on the ground there. The Labor Party was born in the fires of the Shearer's War, and there were in the early days plenty of Socialists proper in it.
