    Communism couldn’t happen in a world with capitalism, or at least socialism would need to be as entrenched as capitalism is nowadays. I agree that it would be achieved through reform, not revolution. Late stage socialism will just bleed into communism, there won’t be some indelible line separating the two

      I was a bit lazy on the “communism and socialism teaming up” as an analogy. I just meant if socialism and communism were personified as two people in this meme, they would be working mutually in separate timelines. To improve on the analogy, I could say socialism has a gun to capitalism’s head while giving a handshake to communism sitting behind.
