    Yep. And on the flip side, if I call a communist a socialist, it may be true technically, but I’m connotating that they want social capitalism instead of full communism.

    And while theory written 100 years ago may have those terms be near equivalent, the meanings of those words have drifted a little since then.

      Socialism doesn’t refer to Social Democracy, but Socialism, ie Worker Ownership of the Means of Production.
