The basic difference is that Communism is a pure political philosophy where the Government controls all the means of production while Capitalism is on the opposite end of the spectrum, where the people own the means of production.\n\nSocialism is the hybrid of Communism and Capitalism.  Socialism is essentially Capitalism where the government controls certain industries within the country's marketplace.\n\nSome examples:\n\nCapitalist:  United States; Or, more purely, Hong Kong (but not the rest of China).\n\nSocialism:  Germany, Norway\n\nCommunism:  Cuba or China

No.!!!\nNobody has ever practised Communism the way that Karl Marx visualised, as they say my donkey stays my donkey.!!!\nWhat is yours is mine. what is mine stays mine.\nHypocrites is what they all where, thieves and liars while the people suffered.!!!

Do you even know what the words 'communist' and 'regime'  mean?

You are confused. There is nothing more materialistic than communism. Communism began as a reaction to the selfish big capital corporations in the mid 19th century-early 20th century that seriously abused workers, including women and children. China is unique in using capitalism to fight the "free" world. Ultimately, it will win because the US has forgotten the lessons of the early 20th century about runaway capitalism.

Communism:\nPROs:  Proclaims equal distribution of goods amongst all men\nCONs:  Humanity---men will become lazy if they do not have to work for things and the redistribution of goods is pu in the hand of a governemnt that will inevitably become corrupt.\n\nFascism:\nPros:  An absolute authority with far-sweeping powers and control of most major arenas of commerce can bring a nation back to its feet and keep an economy rolling along smoothly.\nCons:  Humanity--as George Orwell said:  Absolute power corrupts absolutely.\nCapitalism:\nPros:  Minimal governemnt intrusion into the public arena.  Businesses can operate freely and, theoretically, people are more mobile in the social hierarchy.\nCons:  Humanity---in the above two instances it was the corruption of the governemnt, but now it is the corruption and possible cold-heartedness of the capitalists.  It basically becomes a second feudalism where fieifs are granted based on money and the serfs can do little to escape their status.

COMMUNISM IS A MUCH BETTER CHOICE IF HUMANS WERE NOT GREEDY. THE CONCEPT OF COMMUNISM IS EVERYBODY IS EQUAL . THE PROBLEM WITH COMMUNISM IS THERE  ARE LIMITED  ECONOMIC RECOURSE , FOOD WATER CLOTHING OIL NOT ENOUGH TO GO AROUND, IF EVERYBODY IS EQUAL THEN WHO GOES WITHOUT?  CAPITALISM ON THE OTHER HANDS SAID THE MARKET SHOULD SET THE PRICE FOR THESE GOODS AND SERVICE ,  THE TOUGH IS IF YOU CHARGE TOO MUCH FOR AN ITEM THEM YOUR COMPETITION  WILL COME IN AND TAKE ALL YOUR BUSINESS AWAY, THE PROBLEM WITH  CAPITALISM IS THE MARKET HAS NO HEART,  HOW MUCH WILL A DIABETIC PAY FOR INSULIN?  THERE IS NO COUNTRY IN THE WORLD THAT PRACTICE EITHER  ONE IN ITS PURE FORM, SO THE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION IS A HYBRID BETWEEN THE TWO.

Communism is a form of economy where, in theory, all property and businesses belong to the people as a whole.  It is commonly misaligned with "dictatorships" as seen in a previous answer.  \n\nIf communism could achieve what it was truly meant to be, it would mean that every citizen would have a say in how property and businesses were used and operated.  \n\nHowever, communism oftens makes it easier for a dictator to take advantage of the people and assume power.  It is important to note though that a dictator truly has nothing to do with the economic system of communism.\n\nSocialism is somewhere between capitalism and communism.  It allows for the private ownership of business.  However, the government and the people control services vital to the people such as medical services.

communism:\n\nProduction output is divided equally among the individuals exclusive of society benefit. \n\nsocialism:\n\nProduction output is allocated for the greatest good of the entire society exclusive of the individual benefit.\n\nSocialism is the superior economic system but due to human nature it cannot be implemented and therefore regulated capitalism supersedes it.

Communism is almost non-existant in developed countries. Although during the Soviet reign, they have split Germany in half, which I guess- you could call a crime. Look into Ronald Reagan and the Brandenburg Gate, he had an address there, against the Soviets, very powerful.

The regime collased in Russia.  China's regime is strong.  And they're Communist in name only.  Communism means no private capital, no private profit.  But I myself have owned shares in TWO Chinese companies, one of which I sold for a profit and both of which pay dividends.  That's capitalism!  They're too embarrassed to admit that they abandoned Communism years ago, but they did.

Communism is a political ideology that seeks to establish a future classless, stateless social organization based upon common ownership of the means of production. It can be classified as a branch of the broader socialist movement. Communism also refers to a variety of political movements which claim the establishment of such a social organization as their ultimate goal.\n\nAmerica is scared becuase golbally capitalism is on the decline and they see Latin america becoming more and more close to Communist values.

You need to understand the difference between socialism and communism. There are several socialist and quasi-socialist countries that are highly successful in the world today (market socialism).

Communism would be a wonderful example of that.
