King of Tors@MikeDunnAuthor I'm not Gen Z and totally agree with both majorities. Socialism is an economic system wherein the workers own the means of production; Communism is a political system akin to a pyramid scheme of power.
1337@kingtor @MikeDunnAuthor Communism is more of an utopian idea of a stateless, moneyless society. I think what you're referring to is the concept of a vanguard party, Leninism, or Maoism (authoritarian "transitional governments" that never seem to transition to communism).
@1337 @MikeDunnAuthor no, I'm referring to what I was taught in school, which is in line with the 2nd definition at https://www.wordnik.com/words/communism "A system of government in which the state plans and controls the economy and a single, often authoritarian party holds power, claiming to make progress toward a higher social order in which all goods are equally shared by the people."
