Socialism is the step before the communism you describe, and the people who support it are communists. Go read Marxist theory instead of relying on hearsay arguments like that.

I am pro socialism and I call myself socialist, not communist. Communism is a wet dream, not possible for our species to accomplish, just because majority of people will always want to have more than others. It's just our nature, you can't change that.

And even true socialism is far away, just because people are greedy and short-sighted.

What do you mean by socialism? Because the goal of socialism is to gradually arrive at communism. I don't know a lot of Marxist theory but what you say doesn't make much sense. No one (except for anarchists and maybe "new leftists") wants to jump to communism directly.

Unless by socialist you mean social-democrat.
