But Socialism stands in DIRECT OPPOSITION to communism. Unless you use the Orwellian Newspeak definition of "Socialism" which comes DIRECTLY FROM COMMUNIST PROPAGANDA.

I think this idea comes from an equation of Stalinism with communism. Classical Marxism uses socialism and communism interchangeably. When referring to authoritarian bureaucracies descended from the Russian Revolution, Stalinism is clearer. Stalin represents a political counter-revolution, resting on the economic substructure set up by the Russian Revolution (a state that works in the economic interests of workers, or at least gives lip service to it as its raison d'être). It inevitably restores capitalism, but since it is a left over of revolutionaries, they either cynically rule for personal privileges or delude themselves while facilitating capitalist restoration.

Yes, Marx, as the first commie, propagated the utterly false idea that communism is only socialism, plus. It really isn't. But since then, his BS propaganda has spread like a wildfire and nowadays everybody repeats that same crap, unaware that they are repeating COMMUNIST PROPAGANDA.

Have you even read the Communist Manifesto, or are you only versed in anti-communist arguments?
