I predict there wouldn’t need to be a violent revolution between socialism and communism as at that point, we would be acting like civil adults for once. By the time socialism comes to an end, humanity would be conditioned to be not reactionary anymore (or at most minimally). Socialism and communism would be teaming up against capitalism, imo.
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.
