I CAN DISTINGUISH. THEY MADE ME STUDY IT IN HIGH SCHOOL. I KNOW THE THEORY. FOR THE PRACTICE, DATAREPUBLICAN IS ABSOLUTELY CORRECT: Up front, here are the definitions (plus bonus Leninism definition): Communists = Strive for a classless society with common ownership of production. Marxists = Communists who believe in a classless society as the end of history. Leninists = Those who idolize the man who operationalized Marxism to its logical conclusion. Socialists = Fake meaning (Berniebros): Kids who like free stuff. Real meaning (PSL, DSA): Communists who pretend to tolerate dissent.
