k, i was talking to my communist and socialist friends todya and we thought of an interesting question no one could answer, so i thought u guys could do it. If the masses revolt against the bourgeoisie and institute a socialism but ends with a classless society would it be socialism or communism? why?

Perhaps you and your friends should reconsider how you are labeling yourselves.

im sorry it was late, what i meant to say a socialist-democracy, but my friend answered my question, its not possible.
Social Democrats tend to focus on implementing "Capitalism with a friendly face." The perfect example of this is the Scandinavian countries. While the standard of living in these countries is very high, it falls short of socialism and seems highly unlikely to ever lead to socialism. By having a welfare state in a capitalist system, they are in effect propping up the capitalist system. its capitalism, and it cant form a classless society.
