In theory, I don't care about an individual's personal beliefs so long as they support policies that are going to dismantle hierarchies. We are dealing with systems, not individuals. It's not like Marx was a paragon of socially left wing opinions in a modern sense. However, it's very rare for a person to hold socially reactionary beliefs and not want them to be implemented, so in real life it's likely that someone who is anti-capitalist but socially conservative is going to be a Nazbol or something.
That said, it doesn't matter whether anyone calls themselves socialist or not in the end. You could have seven billion socialists and never achieve socialism. What matters is the struggle between capitalist and worker.
If I may echo one thing that I agree with House of Lightning on (when he still posted here), the concern is not socialism-as-an-ideology, it's socialism-as-a-structure.
