Communism and Socialism

These two terms have been interchangeable.

When I think of Communism, I think of a revolutionary take over and an immediate ending of private property with a forced equal redistribution of wealth. With death to the bourgeois pigs.

Socialism is more of an evolution of similar principles. Socialism attempts to direct the factors of production to more of a redistribution of wealth. Rather than brute force, it is more evolutionary.

The "forced" redistribution is in the legislation. The Forced redistrubution in Communism is truly force--guns, death, jail....
