For a socialist educated populace, the idea of bringing back capitalism sounds ridiculous. It's why the revisionists had to boil the frog to bring about capitalist restoration in socialist countries, and this was possible because there are capitalist elements within socialism as socialism emerges from capitalism.

Under communism, even the most clever revisionists can't do anything to revive the corpse of capitalism because it's just straight up dead on a world scale and the capitalist elements are all but gone.

Hi, can you please explain to me what you see as differences between socialism and communism? Thanks.

Socialism: what comes after a successful proletarian revolution; proletarian dictatorship, a proletarian controlled state; the big bourgeoisie has been liquidated but other classes might still exist within the society as proletarianization is an ongoing process.

Communism: what comes after socialism has developed to a high stage world-wide; stateless, classless, and moneyless society; the working classes have been merged into one class, the bourgeoisie worldwide has been liquidated.

Thank you so much. I wasn't sure if you were using it in this manner or some Western laissez - faire , nebulous sense many in the West use it.
