@DGI Well, Communism is an outdated concept that unfortunately brings up a past of terrible wars and evil individuals. But Socialism, on the other hand, especially Democratic Socialism, is something that more and more people are embracing, not necessarily because they believe in it, but because they're sick and tired of the elite 1% and their shenanigans.

According to the official doctrine:

Communism, in one sentence, is "from each according to their abilities, to each according to their needs".
People would be so conscientious that:
(i) money would be abolished, everything would be free of charge, but people would only take what they need;
(ii) no one would commit crimes, so there would be no law enforcement;
(iii) the whole world would be a single country, so there would be no wars and no military forces.
Etc.

Socialism, on the other hand, is "from each according to their abilities, to each according to their labor".
There could not be any homeless and any unemployed.

Socialism was declared built some time in the 1960s; communism was never built.

Omitting important parts about no private ownership of means of production, full control of the state by the communist party, full control of the economy by the state, etc., etc., etc.

@DGI

@DGI That's socialism, not communism, and yes, we grow up Socialist, and should stay so for the betterment of all society.
