You're a Socialist* (*almost certainly)

[Yerda]

People in the Democratic Socialists of America, the Socialist Worker's Party, and the Socialist Party USA have argued that Bernie is not a socialist.

There is no socialist who hasn't been accused of insufficient socialism by other socialists. Questioning the socialism of others is about 50% of socialist activity. The other 50% is forming splinter groups in order to expell those who are insuffieciently socialist from whichever faction you find yourself in.

Communism in Marxist terms would be a society that had abolished class differences, money, the state etc.

As far as I know, that association was deliberate on part of the Monty Python guys.
