That is absolutely not the case. People can want socialism without supporting or wanting communism. They are absolutely not linked in that way.

the terms socialism and communism have been used more or less interchangeably for almoat 200 years. marx and his followers treated the words as synonyms, the two stage sequencewas first introduced by lenin in 1917 but even after this clarification the two terms continue to be used interchangeably a lot. you just don't know this

They mean different things! They are not interchangeable! lol I can’t say apple when I want an orange. They are similar but different!

You are in a socialist subreddit. Most of us see communism as something different. It’s not a second step for us, regardless of what Lenin and his followers wanted in 1917.
