What the hell are you jabbering on about now?
Either there is very little difference betwen socialism and communism, or socialism and communism are both transitional stages to anarchy.

@averagejoe1 saidI'll just answer your question (first sentence).
Our socialists are more rabid, don't you think? They will never stop their parasitic drive, like locusts, to cut everyone and everything to their knees. My opinion, they will not stop. And with all due respects and presence of mind, I say they will Never stop in their quest, their plans go out for generations, for 200 years. There will be no living off the wealth that ca ...[text shortened]... our rich employers to go to hell , and stop working for them. Maybe I will start a thread on that.
No.

Enter Communism and Socialism in their boxes and read up.
You will find very few countries that you and others like you have labeled as socialist and even communist (Canada, UK, Germany, etc) don't come close to socialist. And never mind communist.
Perhaps we should stop talking about the radical left and talk about the radical right instead.

@averagejoe1 saidYes, it is quite clear that your imbecility is different from metal's only in decor, not in depth.
I don't pretend to know these far-away weird philosophies, but I have always understood that socialism naturally leads to communism.

@mghrn55 saidSo, AvJoe asks "tell us a singular difference between socialism and communism.". Look at your answer, maybe it is something someone told you in one of your circle meetings last night. Libs love to sit in circles.

But, you do not answer my question. Why don't libs answer questions? Ask me a question. Why don't libs answer questions? And why change the facts??? I asked one of y'all last week, "If my neighbor asked me to pay for his daughter's abortion, ()as you libs do, should I?" He wrote back 'what if your son impregnated her." I loved taking that exchange to my friends at the coffee shop the next morning!!! I will take your not-response to the meeting on Thursday. Lawyers call it 'demonstrative evidence"!

@mghrn55 saidOK, I went to diffen. Though one of your lieutenants, Shav, says there is not much difference in the two, your diffen site says that a "Stark" difference is that communism is a political system, Socialism is an economic system. So, different. I got nauseous reading down all the other 'differences', but, to AvJoe, all I could glean from it was how they are both devoid of Freedom and Liberty. I think I will take a bath. Hell, I'm sorry I asked.

@averagejoe1 saidWell, I use the terms as synonyms (or however the hell that’s spelled at 5 in the morning).
Tell us, then, a singular difference between socialism and communism.
But, some folk make the distinction that socialism a cross between capitalism and communism. For example: https://www.thoughtco.com/difference-between-communism-and-socialism-195448
Where it states:
The main difference is that under communism, most property and economic resources are owned and controlled by the state (rather than individual citizens); under socialism, all citizens share equally in economic resources as allocated by a democratically-elected government.
To me the distinctions are based on the practicality of the 20th century, rather than on philosophy (political or economical).
As for freedoms: capitalism offers financial freedom and its rewards to a small group of people. But for a large group of people, they only have the financial freedom of working 60+ hours a day and still not enough money for health care and holidays. So, not much freedom at all.
Under socialism / communism, the freedoms offered are not based on financial freedom. That mechanism is severed. But freedom is the surplus everyone shares when the needs have been met.
Sort of like, you can sit in the garden with a beer once you’ve done the dishes.
