Socialism seems to me to be (primarily) the redistribution of (some) goods by the State to serve a common (State) purpose - although this is not the technical definition (and a socialist state COULD choose to redistribute all goods- but then I would think of it as communist and not socialist). Communism on the other hand seems to be much more extreme- seeking to abolish private property and collectivize everything (even thought) in a totalitarian society. Socialism is a much smaller concept (to my mind) than communism. I can't see how you can integrate communism with a free society- but I CAN see how you can integrate a few socialistic ideas. Maybe it's just my perspective that socialism takes a little from the individual to serve the whole, but communism takes everything.
