    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.

            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.
