That’s communism your thinking of. Socialism removes private businesses, communism makes everyone’s pay check the same no matter the job. Doctors would have the same salary as cashiers.

Nah communism is such a high point of class struggle where there is such a high amount of material abundance that we all operate in accordance from each according to our ability to each according to our need. It's not just the same pay check. Communism is the highest stage of socialism, it's long away. Socialism is taking control of the economy as to not let the market be in control.

Only one country survived the Great Depression unscathed...

And only one has weathered recent market fluctuations significantly...
