I would caution you about socialism being a way to get to communism.

Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, the founders of communist ideology, believed democratic socialism was a sham and true communism could only be achieved through a violent overthrow of the bourgeois.

The complex restructuring you mentioned is why they thought a transition from socialism to communism would not work.

And that's why we will never have peace in the middle east. Both sides argue for violence and both sides only conduct emotional responses.

Emotional responses don't lead to any solutions. Only reason will create a peaceful two state solution.
