    Socialism and Communism historically have been defined multiple different ways by different people in different areas at different times. Marx used the terms interchangably. What we typically use now for clarity’s sake is that Socialism is the stage of society that involves moving towards “Communism”, where Communism is the classless and stateless society where all of every person’s necessities are provided for.

    From Critique of the Gotha Programme by Marx:

    In a higher phase of communist society, after the enslaving subordination of the individual to the division of labor, and therewith also the antithesis between mental and physical labor, has vanished; after labor has become not only a means of life but life’s prime want; after the productive forces have also increased with the all-around development of the individual, and all the springs of co-operative wealth flow more abundantly—only then can the narrow horizon of bourgeois right be crossed in its entirety and society inscribe on its banners: From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs!
