In Marxist theory, '''Socialism''' is a system of society in which there is no private property, a system in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state. '''[[Communism]]''' is a totalitarian system of government in which a single authoritarian party controls state-owned means of production with a professed aim of establishing a stateless society. In the final stage, the state has withered away and economic goods are distributed equally. Goods are owned in common and available to all as needed. | In Marxist theory, '''Socialism''' is a system of society in which there is no private property, a system in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state.

The problem of this psychology besets us today; and therefore if we are going to deal with socialism and communism, we must understand the subconscious patterns within us all that make these systems of dependence, instead of independence, in both government and economics appealing to some portion of the being of man—that portion not being the Christ-man or the real man. | The problem of this psychology besets us today; and therefore if we are going to deal with socialism and communism, we must understand the subconscious patterns within us all that make these systems of dependence, instead of independence, in both government and economics appealing to some portion of the being of man—that portion not being the Christ-man or the real man. | ||
