that's right. There is a difference outlined in the OP. Communism takes both cows.
However this does not change the fact that under Socialism the government takes one cow. Look at what is happening in France right now, under a socialist President. If the "super rich" don't pay the government 75% of their income, will the government simply say, "Ok then. We asked, but if you don't want to, then no problem"? Or will the government send people with badges and guns and take them to jail?
Don't kid yourself. Sure, socialism is communism-lite, but don't think that people share as a voluntary act under socialism.
