Socialism is a spectrum.
My family are largely social democrats, i.e. socialists. They would either vote for social democrats or the communist party in Sweden (VpK). The communist party changed name to V in the early 1990'ies but kept the ideology and their main principles remain - the government should run everything in society. That's what communism ultimately is about and which explains why it is adjacent to fascism.
Communism is simply principles, which in turn leads to policies and practices.
The principle of equal outcomes *is* a communist principle and it necessitates a totalitarian regime for it to be implemented. It requires all wealth to be redistributed, via taxes, moneyprinting, regulations, subsidies and so on.
There is no way to achieve equal outcomes except through tyranny. We can expect the use of CBDCs and social credit score systems as standard solutions to reach such utopian goals.
Of course, equal outcomes can never truly be achieved, which leaves us with a worsening totalitarianism as it is attempted.
Kamala Harris is on board with the UN Agenda 21 climate and anti-energy policies, so there is every reason to assume that she supports the emergence of a global government under the UN.
That is communism, if we understand the neo-communism from 1978 where Deng Xiaoping absorbed corporatism into the communist framework.
Similarly Sweden adopted some light free market reforms in the 1990'ies, yet remains highly centrally planned, with a general socialist ideology that permeates the political landscape.
We can see socialist policies represented in state-owned media, government schools, restrictions on homeschooling, restrictions on firearms, high progressive taxation, KYC/AML regulations, hate speech laws, gender-bender ideology, mass-immigration policies, apartment queuing systems, redistribution of wealth in all sectors, often as bribes in favor of certain political beliefs.
Socialism, corporatism and neo-communism are hard to separate because they are a part of a central planning structure with expanding government power and erosion of individual liberties and private property rights.
