Definitely a problem, but possibly unsolvable. To me socialism is democratic while communism is totalitarian. That is the distinction, not the degree of government ownership. But to perhaps all communist movements, communism IS socialism, while anything less than communist control and direction is a phony bourgeois sham.
Sure, they are different things, but they are both represented by the colour red.
