Can't really compare the 2 though.

HUGE difference between real Communism and what the USSR and China have that we call Communism.

Communism is great in theory: all work to better the state and the state takes care of you.

However, in practice so far it has led to dictatorship and totalitarianism it also by its very nature takes away individuality.

Socialism is great in theory and so far some countries show it works in some forms others show it doesn't depends on the leadership and the populations acceptence of it: Socialism is where the state is partners with industry and together they strive to better society.

Those are just nutshell definitions.

BTW Nano, you could have added the fact that the U.S. is falling behind in infant mortality rates, illiteracy rates, educational rates, standard of living rates, savings account rates, unemployment rates, poverty rates, crime rates and so on. Just some more facts the GOP can't deal with and try to change the subject over.
