Communism is a philosophical ideal, Socialism is a political ideal. Neither actually exists, but they come from two very different backgrounds, and define two very different things. No one lived by a philosophy, and no one debates political designs. I don't understand how anyone could possibly think that Communism and Socialism are the same, but I guess some people do. Whoulda thunk it.

The list of questions that I have asked of you that you were unable to answer grows, yet it's OK for you to just walk away after making claims (and claiming FACTS) that were shown to be wrong and unsubstantiated?

There are no practical differences.
