Not sure I get that. I might agree, but I’m a bit confused.

The USSR was a “Socialist” state and implemented gulags. China and North Korea are Communist and also implement gulags. There are many other examples in Africa and Asia of governments assuming one or the other mantle, but the end results are always the same: poverty, torture and death for the citizenry.

The separation between Socialism and Communism only exists in textbooks. In reality they end up being the same thing.
