'From each according to his ability, to each according to his need" is a
phrase from the Communist Manifesto.  While Communism and some forms of
socialism are linked, they are hardly equivalent.  My definitio of
socialism involves control of the means of production democratically.  People
decide for themselves who has control, rather than being controlled by
corporate bureaucracies.  Socialism is, at its base, an economic organizational
structure: not a political system.  Because it is based (that is, the form
of socialism I'm talking about) on fundamental systems of democracy and
justice, it tends to fit in with other movements that advocate political
justice.
