there is very important, another point in regard to what you mentioned, crimson.
socialism and its ideals were brought at a time of extensive class society, and extreme elitism, and exploitation. not only that, but all that even spoke about it were repressed so brutally, just as the people being exploited were repressed and were expected to always remain subdued for thousands of years. (ideals took hold in those parts of the society, naturally anyways).
leaving aside the grudge, anger that thousands of years old repression left in place, there was also the new repression due to they daring demand equality and equal rights. more salt to the wound.
it is only natural that, in such a negative environment of repression, there was lack of emotion, compassion, leave aside love.
these were what was lacking in early socialism. there was no place for emotion. in addition, emotions were being exploited by various religious organizations, and, the romantic era literature, which was being strongly supported by the re-instituted monarchies of europe to direct nationalist sentiments to support monarchies anyway. so, there was no room for emotion.
had the repression and elite not been there, this world would be quite a different place by now.
