No problem! That's just my interpretation, he waffled back and forth on the Soviets his whole life but maintained a "non-anti-soviet" position after coming to Socialism from his former Liberalism, which shaped the earlier aspects of his life. I don't think he ever seriously committed to confronting that liberalism, but merely became convinced of the benefits of Socialism.
