Socialism Defined
- Socialism is when the state owns the means of production and engages in resource redistribution.
- Equity, or "actual equality," is the goal, aiming for economic and socio-cultural equality.
Communism Defined
- Communism is different; the people own the means of production, operating like one big family.
- There is no private property, and ideally, no state, as it 'withers away' naturally.

- It views capitalism as a 'fall' from this true nature due to private property.
