They don't even know the definition of socialism. It is defined as: the government owning the means of production. Meaning the government runs for profit enterprises. The reason it fails, has failed and always will fail is because there would be no competition to the government running an industry and it has no reason to be successful.

The definitions of socialism/communism when I was a poly sci major:
The government controlling the means of production =socialism.
The government owning the means of production =communism.
You are correct that socialism eventually leads to communism.
And even Lennon and Karl Marx themselves wrote that socialism was the intermediate between capitalism and communism.
