Socialists are not communists. Socialists enjoy al the trappings of capitalism while controlling the masses thru taxation and regulation. Communists are true believers and look at socialists like weak phony moderates, they are not friends.

whatever they think of themselves as, Marx saw them as a mere weigh-station between capitalism and communism. and that's exactly what they are.

I liked Rush’s definition: “The difference between Socialism and Communism, is that Socialists let you live.”

I’ve always thought that “socialist” is a broad term describing various commonly related idealogies

International Socialists......Communists
National Socialists........... Nazi/fascists
Utopian Socialists........... Fabians
ect...........

Any way you slice it, they all come from the same ill-baked loafs of bread kneaded and baked in the bakery run by Karl Marx.......

Communist Party USA chairmen, Gus Hall (former) and Sam Webb (current) disagree with you...
