In this episode of The Leftish Agenda, Eddie unravels the intricate political and economic ideologies of socialism and communism. Diving deep into their definitions, key features, and ultimatums, Eddie presents a vivid comparison of the two. Socialism, with its mixed economy, democratic control, and variety, aims at reducing inequality and ensuring universal welfare. Communism, on the other hand, dubbed as a radicalized version of socialism, envisions a stateless, classless society with collective ownership. The crux of the comparison highlights the key differences in terms of ownership type, implementation method, and economic structure in these ideologies. The podcast concludes on the note that despite the unequal visions and strategies, both socialism and communism advocate for reduced inequality and collective ownership.
