Marx & Engels didn't did distinguish between socialism & communism. Lasalle made that distinction which was a revision of Marx & Engels.
Imagine if in the US all of the means of production were owned by the people, i.e. mining, shipping, transportation, entertainment, agriculture, banking, business etc. we would have a society that wasn't controlled by an oligarchic plutocracy. We would have a true democracy & not the bourgeois version we are saddled with.
