I see that some people have produced explanations that make one a part of the other. I see them as being commonly used together but separate. For example, while Russia is clearly a command based economy, they have also embraced capitalism and now spit on the word socialism.But that does not mean that socialism and command based economic systems are the same thing.
they are essentially the same especially given that both terms have several and imprecise meanings!!
Google:
command economy
noun
1.
a socialist economic system in which production anddistribution of goods and services are controlled by thegovernment and industry is mostly publicly owned.
they may spit in socialism but they still have huge commands from central govt which is the point of socialism. In any case the debate remains the same: does freedom work better than liberalism communism socialism monarchy command fascism and dictatorship etc etc.
