Not at all. The Pilgrims tried it out in America in the 1620's and abandoned the concept since it didn't work for them. Marx and Engles came up with scientific socialism (aka Marxism) in 1848 in The Communist Manifesto.

No, the political theory goes back to 360 BC, and the French Revolution. Socialism in the United States came in the 1800's with German immigrants.

What is Stalin's concept of socialism?

Stalin held a different view of socialism from Trotskyists, Orthodox Marxists, Anarchists and Lenin's original conception of socialism. In contrast to the other views, Stalin's view was based on Socialism in One Country, the belief that socialism can be constructed in a single country despite that country existing in a global, interlinked capitalist economy. Stalin's concept of socialism accepted the law of value as an integral part of socialism, along with wage-based labor and monetary exchange. Stalin's view implicitly rejected collective-decision making and worker's self-management in favor of the "cult of the individual personality" and authoritarianism.
