Laclau and Mouffe are anti-socialists? Why? Because Wood or Geras told you so? I don't much like them, but "anti-socialist" is way off the mark. (Interesting to go borrowing second-hand phrases -- like 'true socialism' -- and then go and make something so different of such a phrase that in its very application, one parades as that which is ostensibly considered as the problem...)
