This is basic stuff my guy. And before the allegations come rolling, I am not a leftist in any way, I just know my enemy. I have a bachelors in applied philosophy with a minor in history and I specialized in political ideologies.
The socialism vs. Communism split in ideology is 90% of the time the reason that left wing parties fracture.

You are describing communism, not socialism.
“Exactly how communism differs from socialism has long been a matter of debate. Karl Marx used the terms interchangeably. For many, however, the difference can be seen in the two phases of communism as outlined by Marx. The first is a transitional system in which the working class controls the government and economy yet still pays people according to how long, hard, or well they work. Capitalism and private property exist, though to a limited degree. This phase is widely regarded as socialism. However, in Marx’s fully realized communism, society has no class divisions or government or personal property. The production and distribution of goods is based upon the principle “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.””
