Moron...Socialism is the last step before true communism...according to Marx. since that evil man's beliefs hit the world the "socialists" have adapted to the reality of each country where they push their collectivism......in too many places,that means mass graves and gulags......
Socialism allows for private proprety. Communism absolishes it. They're obviously not the same thing.
Communism is largely defined by the Communist Manifesto. Socialism comes in more flavors than Baskin Robbins. I'm interested in learning more the OPs specific flavor rather than listening to you make spectacularly inaccurate overgeneralizations about at topic you don't understand.
Right.
That Marx said this or that isn't particularly relevant. Marx was wrong about a lot of things. Believing Sweden is going become Cuba because they have a social market economy is pretty silly.
The truth is that all successful Western economies are mixed economies. The only difference is degree.
