If you have any doubt, learn about what the Bolsheviks did to the socialists once they took power. Indeed, Lenin wrote a tract on the subject entitled “Left Wing Communism, an Infantile Disorder” in which he argued that naive/idealistic socialists and Marxists needed to be purged/liquidated from the party. Communists must follow orders...period. No freedom of speech, no freedom of religion, no private property, the state owns your children, no remnants of traditional society are to remain whatsoever. In short, there is a big difference between socialists and Communists. Ever hear of the phrase “useful idiots”? That's how Communists view socialists.

So, Commies were fighting Commies.

German and Italian Commies had a falling out with Stalin. They said Commies could be nationalists (National Socialists) and didn't have to take orders from Mother Russia/Stalin. Stalin said no and insisted they be referred to as Fascists.

Commies all.

Democrats love to make the distinction between Communist, Socialist, Progressive, Liberal, Democrat, Democratic. Commies all.

Thats why wherever you have socialists you have communists.. and vice versa.. They are the same thing grasshoppper.. They feed on each other.. One of them is the Farmer and the other is the Mule.. Capitalist wealth is the plow.. They together plant WEEDS...

Capitalism creates wealth, socialism uses that wealth up.. like a parasite..
