Of course, and part of the rivalry between Frank Lloyd Wright and the Internationalists was FLW's inspiration (among other sources of inspiration) drawn from the Arts & Crafts (which itself drew from the Pre-Raphaelites).
That said, FLW's politics were not strictly socialist, but were a complex combination of liberatarian, pacifism, populism, Wisconsin progressive, support for the Wobblies, and anti-semitism. Some argue that he was also close to Kropotkin (an anarchist). This earned him the suspicion of J. Edgar Hoover and a file in the FBI.
