Socialism is the process that leads to communism. As a socialist, I admit that. One can even define socialism as the early stage of communism, when capitalism is being socialized, from private to public ownership of the means of production. From market-based, for-profit mass production to non-profit, centrally planned, marketless mass production. I can explain why this is necessary and inevitable due to advanced automation and artificial intelligence. Marx predicted that one day, non-profit, democratically organized, and centrally planned mass production would be necessary, due to advanced technology.
