Are you saying that socialism and communism are the same thing?

Well, yeah. They differ only on the margins.

"Both socialism and communism are based on the principle that the goods and
services produced in an economy should be owned publicly, and controlled and
planned by a centralized organization. Socialism asserts that the
distribution should take place according to the amount of individuals'
production efforts, however, while communism asserts that that goods and
services should be distributed among the populace according to individuals'
needs." [In socialism, a doctor earns more than a common laborer; under
Communism, they earn the pretty much the same.]

A socialist economy has room for small amounts of capitalism; a Communist
society does not allow ANY private economic transactions.

Close, though there are differing lines that can be drawn. Socialism
is an economic system where the state owns the means of production.
Under communism there is no private property, even yourself.
