I don't think searching on a website that is mostly grammar/vocab is the best site to find the difference between socialism and communism

i looked up the difference between socialism and communism and it was one of the top results meaning its obviously a good comparison

That's not what i got. It's probably because of your search/click history, website sponsors or your specific search query.

Ok, this just proves you're not very smart.

1) you're getting your info from an infographic-- these things are very oversimplified, if you want to make a bold statement like that, you'll need more research

2) you're only taking the evidence that aligns with your point--- even when there is blatant evidence (on the same infographic) that proves your point is wrong, you choose to ignore it

3) you don't understand that small changes can have big effects.

4) you only showed me one infographic that proves your point; the other's probably didn't prove it, so you chose to ignore it

main difference is one is a political system, and the other is an economic system. Not really interchangeable. The people who use it interchangeably don't really know what they are talking about.

Also, next difference: things are owned by the state rather than privately. In capitalism, most things are owned by the private sector; this is what allows competition and innovation, and it gives a reason for people to work. Communism is completely a public sector; everything is handed to you by the state. Socialism is somewhere in between. Some things are handed to you by the state (like your job), but you still get to earn more if you work harder, and you still have some private property, although there is little to no private sector in terms of business. This does not push people to work as much as capitalism, but it's still better than communism, where everybody makes the same amount of money. This means that production rates will go down, because people don't have an incentive to work.

Next Difference: In socialism, people still have a sense of uniqueness: for example, there are still poor people, and there are still (arguably) wealthy people. In communism, everybody is equal: everybody has the same income. Also, people in socialism can have freedom of religion, whereas in communism, you need to control the masses, so you don't give them freedom of religion or freedom of speech.

These are the main differences between the two. However, if you see the difference between socialism and communism, the differences are around the same.

i suggest you read wikipedia or something to go educate yourself

something tells me i wasted my time typing because i doubt you'll actually listen to opposing views

1, info graphics are very useful to get a understanding of a topic

2. all the other infographics stated the same info and the small difference it stated was extremely small again it only stated one

3.the small change didnt ripple out at all i do understand how small changes can have a domino effect but nevertheless it was extremely small

4. 2 already covered this point

i didnt look at any other sources for the differences between them but from the info graphics there was almost none im not interested in communism or socialism im also too lazy to do so much research into such a small part of op's meme the true reason why so many conservatives constantly say oh thats communist or thats socialist is because they simply have a different idea of what socialism is than lets say a democrat im not sure why i have to repeat this but never the less since you need it here you go.

also dont call someone unintelligent just because they dont look up every single aspect of every single thing that they are debating, im not sure if you have noticed this but only a tiny fraction of this debate should have been about the definition of socialism or communism and the differences between them it but instead you had to dragg it onn and onnn jesus its annoying and so are you.

no, its because they simply have a different idea due to being farther right, just like my example of libtards thinking everything is facisim or Nazism

1) Again, oversimplified
2) I'm not talking about that; I'm talking about how the infographic said there were big changes and you pretended you didnt see that
3) No, you don't understand how big the scale of that change is. It's like comparing 2 and 5. If you flip 2 sideways, you get 5. That isn't a big change. However, that change can mess up entire equations. You do not know how big the change is.

"because they simply have a different idea of what socialism is than lets say a democrat im not sure why i have to repeat this but never the less since you need it here you go."

Like how most 7th graders have a different idea of what gay is than lets say a more mature person and everyone just realizes that the 7th graders are asinine

I'm calling you uneducated in regards to communism. Also, i'm not expecting you to know every detail of communism, I just want you to do more research than look at several infographics and make bold claims. They just make you look more like a dunce than you need to be.

"im not sure if you have noticed this but only a tiny fraction of this debate should have been about the definition of socialism or communism"

What? Did you not read what I wrote? I talked about the differences and how you can differentiate between them. I guess not everyone shares my interest of learning; some are fine with reading one or two infographics and calling it a day.

1. never the less still informational

2. im talking about the same info graphic, i liget said in my comment that the infographic said there was big differences, stop being blissfully ignorant

3. i do understand, but the comparison between socialism and communism in all not just one of the info graphics was more like a flipped over 2 and a 5 if you flip the 2 it becomes extremely hard to tell the difference

im guessing you are implying like a little nice lib that conservatives are stupid they arent they simply have a different idea of what socialism is just like liberals (like you) have a different idea of facisim.

thank you for clearing up the unintelligent point as it bothers me a great deal when someone says that to me, and i do agree it was not smart to make a claim without research but i was lazy and was going off the info graphics.

exactly, you talked so much about the differences you forgot about what we originally debating about, just like the last time we were debating you completely steered off course as soon as i did one comment on your "biggest company's in each state" meme

1. like how CNN is still informational, even though they dont show the full side of the story

2. you stated that the infographic said it had big differences, and then you were like "that part of the infographic is not credible cause i used two seconds to research". Let's be honest, you only used the part of the infographic that supports ur point.

3. yeah, but it is still a difference with big effects. just some people cant tell that it is.

"im guessing you are implying like a little nice lib that conservatives are stupid they arent they simply have a different idea of what socialism is just like liberals (like you) have a different idea of facisim."

"you are implying like a little nice lib"
calling me a lib? smh. reminds me of the interview where ben shapiro called the bbc newscaster a lib when he just questioned him and then stormed out of the interview. Also, that was a giant straw man

thank you for clearing up the unintelligent point as it bothers me a great deal when someone says that to me, and i do agree it was not smart to make a claim without research but i was lazy and was going off the info graphics.

"socialism and communism are two completely different ideologies. Idk why you're including socialism here."

pretty sure the reason why i started this debate was to say that communism and socialism were completely different ideologies, and i proved that by showing u the differences

addendum: i have a feeling that you are the type of person to make a claim, and then have to go to google sources because you didn't have any evidence to back it up when you first made your claim. but it's good to recognize that sometimes ur wrong, i guess i was wrong abt u b4

also, read more books and wikipedia, and remember that conservatives aren't 100% right (like libs). choose ur issues issue by issue, but who am i to tell you lol u gotta figure that shit out by urself

it still tells half the story which is by far not enough but still information

??? i dont understand, i didnt use much if any of the info graphic let alone pick one side that helps my point

you cant tell the difference between a flipped 2 and a 5 because they look the exact same if you dont look up any other info (like i did) then its impossible to tell the difference.

i called you a lib because you were annoying also you implied conservatives were stupid which i dislike because liberals say everything is facisim and conservatives say everything is communist or socialist so condemning one party and not condemning the other one would bother me a great deal

idk you just copy and pasted what i said maybe you messed that up maybe you were trying to make a point idk

we started the debate or at least i did about how ops meme was wrong or that it was flawed

i usually dont make claims without evidence this was just one of those topics i dont know much about because i simply dont care.

thanks for pointing out libs arent always right, i already know conservatives and the right wing are sometimes wrong but they get so much flak for almost nothing

i dont have much time for external research now due to classes being online but ima try

idk you just copy and pasted what i said maybe you messed that up maybe you were trying to make a point idk

i did that cause u were the last comment on the string and i had to copy paste everything so i could easily read/write that and i didnt delete that cuz u were right

bruh u from reddit? this man using op
also im just pointing out that socialism and communism were two different ideologies, im just stating a fact that a lot of people agree on. basically im correcting u when u were wrong

1. i formed my opinion on that because i was lazy ok... idk how many more times ima have to repeat that

2.i did read it and i didnt understand (you could rephrase)

3. the comment was obviously implying at the very least conservatives are immature and asinine

4. ok

5. i heard it from reddit but here people use it too idk what else to call the original poster

6. thanks for the correction but i didnt really need it i was just stubborn, ik that "in theroy" they are much different ideology although in practice socialism usually devolves into communism my dad grew up in a "socialist" country and in reality it was communist so i have a different perspective of what they are.
