Hmmm… I am still not 100% convinced that without socialism the working class movement would reach the other shore though.

For instance, see how syndicalism got us nowhere and how the bourgeoisie just took away all the concession they gave syndicates post cold war. See how Black Lives Matter didn't achieve a bigger change due to its lack of association with socialism. The capitalists just defanged the moment and gave bare-minimum concessions to apease the people.

It seems that the working-class movements without socialism are boats that get sunk by the bourgeois missiles and torpedoes.

We need both socialism and the working-class movement to get to the other shore.
