Socialism and Communism?

[Fidel Follower]

So whats the differance between Socialism and Commuinsm?
I have heard from my friend ThComrade that a socialist society has both capitalism and communism aspects?

Like the state runs the Farming, health care, some jobs. But there would be other things which are not controled by goverment? Any definitions?
Thanks....:hammer:

Currency is probably the only "Capitalistic" thing in a Socialist society and hierarchy of course.

Nothing should be "run" by the Government. Socialism should consist of socialised industries.

Of course if you have to develop those industries first, centralised planning is needed, but they are not Socialist countries now, are they?
