Based on Marxism, socialism is the first step on the way to Communism. While most believe it makes things fair, and equal, this is not the case. To bring one person down to make things "equal" is not fair. A common misconception is that streets and public schooling are Socialism. It's not when the schools don't teach party dogma by Government standards. While everyone uses the streets and everyone pays for them, they come out of taxes, so it's not Socialism. Socialism confiscates wealth. People willingly pay taxes (or face jail).
The former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and China are examples of Socialist countries. No Country to date has made it to Communism. But, they had/have communist parties ruling the country.

Socialism is neither fair nor allows for the pursuit of happiness. Everyone is equal in one way: Everyone is miserable.
