Both socialism and communism are based on the principle that the goods and services produced in an economy should be owned publicly, and controlled and planned by a centralized organization. Socialism says that the distribution should take place according to the amount of an individual's production efforts, whilst communism asserts that that goods and services should be distributed among the populace according to individuals' needs.

That's nice, huge difference.....therefore @ socialism & communism........oh, and they left out the bit about marching the pre-revolution, pre-existing, educated people into the forest to be shot (like my grandfather)
