in what way
it's all about taking from the rich to give to the poor/feckless

There is a basic philosophical difference:
Communism = every individual gets according to their needs.
Socialism = every individual gets according to their contribution.

hardly seems fair

well, according to him, they only get back what they put in
meanwhile, what's he going to give the 1% of tax payers who are paying 33% of the income tax paid in this country? a tax increase?

FFS. Pretty much every political system recognises the need to support the most vulnerable.

Socialism = every individual gets according to their contribution.

The main difference between the ideologies is that Socialism allows for some free market economy and that each person is allotted resources according to how hard they work, and Communism seeks communal ownership of everything and that each person is allotted resources according to their need.
