Venezuela is communism not socialism. I am teasing you but these people will actually argue there is a difference. There actually is but it is slight. the end result is largely the same.

Socialism is a stop on the road to communism.

Communism is what happens when socialism reaches its final stage of development.

It is like a cancer. A cancer starts off as a few abnormal cells, which form a dysplasia. A dysplasia is not a cancer, but if it is left to develop unchecked, it will eventually become cancer and become malignant. Socialism, like dysplasia, needs to be nipped in the bud in order to prevent the malignant end state.

There is a difference.

"Communism is man exploiting man, Socialism is the exact opposite"

To-MAY-to, to-MAH-to. Socialism is communism, but the killing hasn't started yet.

“Venezuela is communism not socialism”

Fidel Castro will testify:
Socialism is the Journey, Communism is the destination.
