    There is very big difference between socialism and communism. Communism is an idea and pretty idea but in this world it don’t work because people are “not always good” and socialism is bad try to make communism.

      Socialism is a transition between capitalism and communism where social ownership is the rising aspect of society and the working class runs the state. Communism is a fully collectivized global economy. Neither socialism or communism require everyone to be “good.”

        Communism is I think fragile. When it works then not so much but it’s almost impossible to build that big and stable community.

          Communism has not existed yet, so I see no reason for you to believe it to be almost impossible to build.

              The term was used to show how, through development, future structures “rhyme” with those in the past. Early communalism, as I prefer to call it, shares in common with communism classless, stateless, and moneyless society, but the key difference is the scale and the level of development of the productive forces. The sheer difference in what we use to produce what we need, and how we distribute it, makes these entirely distinct modes of production and distribution.
