What I mean is how do you define fudge? Why is it not just chocolate?

The way it's made. You use condensed milk, corn syrup, butter and sometime marshmallow. And you have to cook it on the stove.. plus it has a totally different consistency of chocolate.
To make chocolate you have to actually have to get cocoa beans, and use the seeds, you have to roast them, then de-shell the beans and use the shells to make a liqour, chocolate uses cocoa butter, not to mention making chocolate takes a heck of a lot longer, you have to conch and temper, and do a lot of steps to make your chocolate good. Fudge is way easier to make than chocolate.

No chocolate is made with chocolate liquor (not the alcohol kind) cocoa butter and milk. The first two ingredients are not available to the home cook in most cases. The automated machines stir the chocolate so that the grain size of the resultant sugar crystals is quite small. Fudge substitutes cocoa power and margarine for these ingredients and uses home mixers the result is less finely grained

Fudge, at least when I and most people make it, is a form of chocolate, (like bars, chips, etc), put into a pot on the stovetop and melted down with butter, vanilla extract, and whatever other things I decide to put into it, (coconut, mint, peanut butter, etc). So, in short, fudge is often just chocolate melted down with butter and allowed to re-solidify in the refrigerator, making it creamier and usually richer too.

Fudge is a type of confection, usually extremely rich and often flavored. It is made by boiling sugar in milk to the soft-ball stage, and then beating the mixture while it cools so that it acquires a smooth, creamy consistency.
AND CHOCOLATE IS JUST YOUR USUAL HARD CHOCOLATELY STUFF.

It's cooked!, candy used with chocolate, sugar, vanilla, evaporated milk, marshmallow cream, walnuts, etc.; Many recipes. Chocolate is just something you buy and eat or use as an ingredient.
