You're probably wondering why I include both socialism and communism in the title. That's easy. I've always preferred to describe the difference between them this way: Socialism is simply the soft version of communism, or communism without the gun at your head.
The Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation has produced this video explaining socialism this way.
However, another video which immediately followed by someone who has a different view of what socialism is here.
Watching both of them reveals to me that the second video, obviously done by someone who believes socialism is misunderstood based on the phraseology used in it and the way capitalism is portrayed, is essentially inferring that even though it's been tried over and over again, it's just not yet been done right and we need to keep trying until we get it right, while at the same time ignoring all the hundreds of millions of people who've been exterminated or slaughtered in the name of socialism.
