>the goal of socialism is communism

Why do you agree/disagree with that statement?

I'm curious to see the different perspectives of this on /pol/. We mostly all know who Vladimir lenin is and his effect on the world, but is what he said true?
Many people agree that communism is bad. On that note many americans today (millenials) are beginning to gravitate towards a socialistic society I.E. bernie sanders large turnout.
Some historians or economists on here might state that there is a path feudalism-capitalism-socialism-communism, but i dont really understand why a society cant stay in one state forever?
I understand marxist philosophies cause a citizen uprising, but there must be some way to avoid that?
Will the U.S. become a socialist government?
When will we create a way of running society that causes the least amount of pain and death? Is it even possible?
