Throughout answer, should refer to key thinkers i.e Karl Marx, Sydney Webb, Crosland, Giddens. Most socialists agree that capitalism drives inequality and as a result are united in their resolve against it. Answer should consist of explaining the differences between those socialists and how that answers the question. Which socialists are committed to equality of outcome and what their socialist vision looks like. (Marxist = stateless, classless system, democratic socialists = state led equality of outcome via nationalisation) other socialists aren't committed to equality of outcome but equality of opportunity (Social Democrats and neo revisionist social democrats).
