      That’s closer to the way communism is generally used. Socialism would be more like if the government had a mousetrap program where it distributed mousetraps to people with rodent problems.

      I say “generally used” because some people have used “socialism” and “communism” interchangeably, but I think it’s just confusing to do that today.
