The problem with that system is of course it rewards the neediest, not the most able. It is completely reversed from reality. The more you need, the more they take away from those who produce.

Communism Vs. Socialism
VERY briefly...

According to Marx, under socialism you have a dictatorship of the proletariat which is a government organized for the defense of survival "rights." Also, distribution goes by the principle "from each according to his/her ability, to each according to his/her work."

Under communism, according to Marx, the government disappears and there is economic cooperation as well. The principle of distribution becomes "from each according to his/her ability, to each according to his/her need."

She sounds more Communist than Socialist. (For the greater good.)
