Actually, this analogy even applies to “market socialism” like in China, or the fact that socialist countries still have some bourgeois elements in general: socialism is like the fire department, in the process of spraying down a house. You can’t put out a fire all at once. Communism is when the fire has been completely extinguished and the burned parts rebuilt.
You can’t expect to live in a house that’s completely not on fire can you? You need to have some parts of it burning to balance things out!
