Socialism may have been adapted by communism; therefore, they became interlinked from adaptation. Some have fused both concepts due to historical events. I wrote a book on symbolism eight years ago, and I explored how imagery was adapted across societies. Socialism became a symbol of communism not intentionally; however, through a series of historical events. Russia, Germany, and China's past for example. |
In that sense, it's a matter of Communism being intrinsically linked with Socialism, but not necessarily the other way around.
