ELI5 The differences between Socialism and Communism.

I grew up in Soviet Union, and in school they actually had to explain the difference to 5 year-olds. According to the Soviet propaganda, Soviet Union was a socialist country, striving to become a communist country, and here is the difference:

In Socialism - everybody gives as much as he can, and receives as much as he deserves.
In communism - everybody gives as much as he can, and receives as much as he needs.

Doesn't make much sense, but people ate it.
