communism and socialism

Two quite different processes with the core idea that the government should help organize society to make day to day life easier on common people and to create a more equal society. Socialism says capitalism is a necessary evil so any governmental influence must be built around somewhat free capitalism. Communism says that capitalism is an unnecessary evil that corrupts society, so it totally replaces capitalism with a working class utopia of sharing and caring that invariably turns into a totalitarian regime that terrorizes its citizens into working whenever things go wrong.

Currently, most of the really smart communists are staying quiet and moving to the field of robotics in the hope that once society is sufficiently automated they can implement universal basic income and declare pyrrhic victory.
Communism and socialism are never used in just one sentence - people always have to go on and on about them.

National Socialism

National Socialism (Nazism) is a political belief created by Friedrich Naumann. It aims to unite Socialist ideas with nationalism (specifically German nationalism). National Socialism is a centrist idea which leans slightly right due to it's ultra-nationalist elements.

There are elements of Socialism within Nazism but in many cases welfare money was only given to those of native descent. The belief of the people being a master race is also a right wing idea and in the case of Nazi Germany the Aryan race is the master race. Nationalism is strong in Nazi regimes. The love of one's country and the belief that it should be strong is also a typically right wing idea (Note that Patriots and Nationalist are very different people and should NOT be confused).

National Socialism does not believe in class division. They despise the idea of Poor vs Rich (Communism) and Rich vs Poor (Capitalism). Many National Socialists believe that all class division should be abandoned and all people should unite behind the master race to make the Country better.
"National Socialism is Socialist". "No it's actually Nationalist with a few socialist ideas"

socialist

Someone who believes that they have the right to be generous with your wallet. Not to be confused with a communist, someone who avoids falling under the definition of a thief by making it impossible to own anything.

Successful socialist countries include:
Adolf Hitler was a National Socialist. He believed in exactly that, socialism on the national level; the right to the resources of another country.

Socialism

The idea that somehow the world owes you a living because you exist.
A system that is built on fantasy and economic ignorance.
A system of selfishness and envy disguised as equality and compassion.
Where the Government controls the means of production and turns everyone into slaves for The State.
The delusion that you can cure poverty by making everyone else poorer.

An idea so bad that they ignore the obvious drawback.

The Rich can just pack up their businesses and their wealth and move somewhere else causing the country's wealth to run out.
"Socialism didn't fail. THAT WASN'T REAL SOCIALISM!"

"The problem with Socialism is eventually you will run out of other people's money."
