There lived a Reader in the West,
For whom communism
Meant both communism
And socialism.
But for me, one who has been barbecued in the hell of socialism,
Socialism
Is not communism.
Socialism
Is the first phase of communism,
Whereas communism
Is the second and true phase of communism.
Before falling, socialism
(i.e., communism, part I)
Had only reached the stage of ripe socialism,
Or, in other words, the phase of gradual transition from socialism
To communism.
The party that guides the building of socialism
Calls itself communist,
After the final goal of its destination--communism.
Logically, the party that buried socialism
Calls itself socialist
Because its final aim is civilized capitalism
Achieved through jungle capitalism.
Oh, poor Reader in the West!

About 1997
