I've heard people claim that many Communist country was not "Socialist" but if I'm reading correctly they mean it's not Socialist in that it achieved the end goal.
Let's be honest for a minute and say true moneyless, classless Communism/Socialism isn't going to happen unless Capitalism doesn't have control over the world.
You can see how all this is confusing though, right? Even in posting this I'm not sure if I'm using those two right or if one's more general and the other is the means to get there with a Vanguard party etc etc.
Just some clear, concise terminology would help tremendously in explaining everything.
