So I guess that's the definition of these terms, is it? And which is which?

Last thing I heard of socialism was 1989 when the East German "real 
existing socialism" collapsed. It didn't appear to have been /too/ 
prosperous all the time.

And I guess we don't have to discuss how prosperous communist sovjet 
Russia was.

But then again, the German word "Sozialismus" may denote something else 
than the English "socialism".
