One needs to be precise with one's terms. "Communist," used without adjective, covers only orthodox or mildly heretical Marxists; another term is necessary to describe practitioners of the many derivatives and widely diverging offshoots of Marxism.

On the other hand, many socialists adhere to non-Marxian forms and are even anti-communist.
