[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] Idealogically? Well, the two really have little in common. Communism is the system in which there IS no system. It's effectively anarchy, but anarchy in which everyone loves everyone else, so there's no problem. Sounds great, but ain't gonna happen on THIS Earth. Socialism, at its heart, is the system in which the government tries to enforce equity by controling EVERY-freakin'-THING. How much you get paid for your job, how much food you get per day, everything. Now there are differing brands of socialism (Trotsky, Mao, etc.), but the general idea remains the same. They both supposedly spring from the philosophy, "From each according to his ability, and to each according to his need." Other than that, there are few similarities. One is no government at all, the other's an all powerful government. It's kinda funny, that Marx thought that one was a stepping-stone to the other, when you'd have to jump across the whole spectrum to get there. [/QB][/QUOTE]
