Difference between socialism and communism?

[The Outlaw Torn]

“Socialism is communism” -Vladimir lenin.

 

[darkmonkey666]

Socialism is more the preparing step for Communism. One comes after the other. Capitalism is the preparing of the masses for the revolution to bring us there.

Obviously Capitalism is the most greedy and parasitic system. Marxism is the most enslaving.

None of it good. It's all based on enemy ideas.

I think OP might not be looking for "Socialism" or in other words the colloquial socialism known in modern times.

I think the OP wanted to know more about Socialism from an WW2 regime perspective i.e. the Socialist part of it i.e. German Socialism.
