William Morris became a socialist realising the utter destructive and ugliness that capitalism is, in his utopian novel of NEWS FROM NOWHERE he inspired many to politics of change beyond change as he wrote. Capitalism the wage slavery of immense humanity in a politicaly manipulated market mechanism of artificial scarcity for perpetuation of poverty and exploitation . Morris was a visionary a true modern revolutinary insisting in educating the working class for self emancipation.

Not for rich people, the thing is that he separated from industry, but the important thing is that he worked with national references and not academic references. He was socialist. "Art for the people" he said (sorry my english)
