A socialist is just a communist without the courage of his convictions. You see, when communist fail, they have no one to blame but themselves because they own the means of production and it was their plan that did not work.
Socialist do not own the means of production, but they do force their unworkable plan on those who do own the means of production. That way, when their plan fails, as it always does, they can blame those mean owners of the means of production. Those socialists have figured out how to screw things up without having to take the blame. It’s always someone elses’ fault with socialists.
Same way they always do: They’ll deny it’s socialism and expect everyone to play dumb along with them.
It’s what they’ve done with the USSR, North Korea, Vietnam, China and all the other failed commie countries.
