Communism is the political and economic model where the totality of the individual’s profits are taken by the community for the community’s well being. Socialism is the political and economic model where a society ensures the individual’s well being by providing the basic necessities. Examples of this include food stamps or socialized health care. So, please, impart your wisdom on how I am wrong.
That’s welfare capitalism, or “social democracy” (which a couple hundred years ago was actually a synonym for communism, but nowadays refers to welfare capitalism), aka “the nordic model”, not socialism.
What socialism and communism actually are is a longer discussion.
Really? So every other developed country has it and is falling to communism? I am sure their socialized medicine is just the death nail in civilized society. Is that why our healthcare is so expensive and terrible? Maybe they should get with the program and have its citizenry be bankrupted by getting hit by a car.

You have the liberal definition of socialism. Socialism is early stage communism.
