Is it lazy world building to write "that and that event is shrouded in mystery" or "scholars speculate that..."?

So, I have numerous world building projects that I work on whenever I feel like it. That way, I always have a theme to choose whenever I'm eager to write sci Fi or fantasy etc.

I've noticed in my writings that I sometimes use explanations like that in the title; that there are events that are simply shrouded in mystery and no one really knows what happened precisely

On one hand, that's also how our history works. We all have to speculate about past events because obviously not everything was meticulously written down by a bystander.

On the other hand, this is my writing exercise and in World building, because most if not all of it is made up, idk if that means I've failed whenever I simply use explanations like those in the title

What exactly is "communist" and what is "socialist"? And what is "Marxist"?

So I never truly understood it. I'm sorry if this gets taken down if politics aren't allowed here. But I think it has nothing to do with recent political events.

So, I know that Marxist is just the general term applied to the teachings of Marx.

But his teachings were that of communism or am I wrong?

And socialist? I've only ever heard that socialism is the pre-form of communism but I don't know if that's true or just a massive over simplification
