Tbf common culture has tried to use the two interchangeably, which is objectively incorrect.

That’s literally the point of the poll lol. I’m neither a socialist or communist (just a history major). Communism is where the MoP are in the hands of the workers, fully. Socialism is where the MoP are in the hands of the government.

Well not quite. Socialism is when the MOP are in the hands of a dictatorship of the proletariat (this is also an oversimplification but it’s closer to the truth)

no. socialism is an economic system where the workers control the means of production. communism is a society with a socialist economy, where class, money and the state have been abolished.
