Marx postulates that socialism is a stepping stone to communism. It's just that shit always fell apart during socialism and communism would be unobtainable any way. And just listen to Bernie's rabid fans and you will know why.

For that brief period where they were running the Democrats but didn't have the votes to put in place the full plan, they were all in with undemocratic processes to force it in place, most of them revolving around controlling elections and media so they could do more. How about this Bernie et al, why don't you create a reasonable government program and run it so good everyone can't resist letting you do more because it is so good. Something socialist we already have to do like the Veterans Administration. When that is better than anything else we do maybe you would not have to do a power grab.

While your post has some interesting information, it says nothing about the differences between socialism and communism.

Yes, let's take a topic that takes a week of university lecture and put it in two paragraphs. This is a topic where you do the work to learn if you want to understand it.

What I'm seeing in your response is that you don't know the difference any further than you've heard it from your favorite politician.
