If I could post a quote/image from Ayn Rand I saved a couple of days ago I would, but here is the quote: "There is no difference between communism and socialism, except in the means of achieving the same ultimate end: communism proposes to enslave men by force, socialism—by vote. It is merely the difference between murder and suicide.
Honestly the only difference is socialism adds Marxism to communistic economic structures, while communism does not apply Marxism at all.
Fundamentally they are the same when you go down to the basis of what makes up both ideological systems on a structural level and economic level.

Socialism will always lead to Communism once the power vacuum gets filled. Prove me wrong.
That is how anything injected with Marxism always ends so your not wrong when it always end in a power vacuum turning into communism.
The only difference is in the severity of the disease.
