    i like to think of the economic trifecta as a triangle.

    People often tend to conflate communism and socialism down into one plane, but i don’t think they’re similar enough, socialism is more inverse to communism than anything. It’s also more closely related to capitalism than communism (the modern western conceptualization of socialism at least)

    to put it bluntly, communism is a subset of socialism.

        i’m not wrong? socialism and communism are often more similar to eachother than capitalism, in the sense that they tend not to like private capital, but modern socialism is more like capitalism if it thought private capital should be collective capital instead, given how entities corpos, and businesses tend to work.

        Communism as people tend to refer to is the usual USSR type beat shit or mao’s china, modern china is more akin to authoritarian capitalism than it is communism, even though they claim to be communist. Even so called “socialist european countries” tend to be capitalism but without private healthcare and education most of the time.

        you must not be very familiar with the concepts of ideological frameworks.
