    A friendly reminder that socialism is not communism. The latter is closer to capitalism as it’s just state-owned instead of privately owned. However, socialism and capitalism can coexist, which cannot be said the same about communism.

      Socialism is a political philosophy and movement encompassing a range of economic and social systems[1] characterised by social ownership of the means of production,[2] as opposed to private ownership.[3][4][5]

      Hard disagree. Capitalism with a handful of social systems implemented is not socialism.

      So communism is closer to capitalism because it’s state-owned?

      Why are we trusting the output of your brain again?
