To my knowledge, Keynes was never a radical socialist. I think Michael Roberts is correct in characterizing him as having been a supporter of a managed capitalism. Keynes's disciples on the other hand, have been all over the lot politically. Joan Robinson was very much a socialist. And in the 1960's she had even been supportive of the Cultural Revolution in China. Other Keynesians have been much more conservative politically. Arthur Burns, who served under both the Eisenhower and the Nixon Administrations was an example of a Keynesian economist who was of decidedly conservative political leanings. Most Keynesians have, however, usually been center-left in their politics.
