Echo-location is found in bats, dolphins and there are cases of blind people able to mimic these animal functions. While they are all very different from one another they do share this unique quality.
Communism contains the values of Socialism and goes further to restrict ownership. Socialism however, does not contain the values of Communism but is its subset.
Two entities do not have to be the "same" in order to share a quality. And while communism fails, today there are social countries still viable.
The topic was socialism communism and wealth distribution. That is what they have in common.
