I often see these words used interchangeably, though as I understand it there is a difference between the two ideologies, no?

Socialism is a broad idea which includes a lot of different ideologies. Some believe in a state, others don’t. Some believe in markets, others don’t. Some believe in currency, others don’t. Many believe socialism is a step on the way to communism.
Communism is the end goal for some of the most radical. “A classless, stateless, moneyless society. Where goods and services are distributed from each according to ability, to each according to need.”
Soulism is communism’s material liberation, plus a spiritual liberation. We ditch the material mechanisms of capitalism, AND the mind prison of capitalism. One of the reasons the USSR failed to enact socialism is because the workers who seized the state remained inside the capitalist mind prison. Giving them power just turned them into capitalists.
