Communism is a form of socialism. It seeks to create a classless, stateless society in which everyone owns the means of production jointly. That does not mean that everyone owns a house, it means that everyone owns the company that built the house.
Communism in practice usually leads to totalitarianism (ie. Soviet Union, Cuba, Cambodia in the '70s).
Socialism, on the other hand, is a very broad group of philosophies whose common feature is that the distribution of wealth is under social control. Under that definition, any country that has taxes (which as far as I know is all of them) can be called socialist.
In most cases, the term "socialist country" refers to countries where a large number of social services are paid for by the government. Several countrys in the EU, including France, Spain, and the Scandinavian countries, have systems such as this and provide citizens with health care, education, and subsidize housing at very high rates. The price for this, of course, is income tax rates nearing 50%.

in many cases. Marxism - theoretical theory of a central authority it is controlled by voters, controls all the country's money, property, and different materials, and redistributes it between voters because of the fact the gov't sees in good shape. ( key distinction between this and the U.S.'s communism is that that's meant to be controlled by elected representatives, and countless issues could be positioned to a vote ) (absolute) Socialism - the place the gov't controls all skill of production, and redistributes all the money between voters, does not contain property. (while human beings communicate approximately socialism in united statesa., they're in many cases concerning socialist policies, that are in truth everywhere the government supplies money to specific human beings, no longer absolute socialism) Communism - in concept, surprisingly plenty comparable to marxism, in prepare it became in truth a totalitarian dictatorship that thoroughly controlled each component of citizen lives.

None. Absolutely nothing.
Notice, USSR means Union of Soviet SOCIALIST Republics. They were refered to as communist because all of Europe came to understand what socialism stands for in the early 1900's, and the people didn't like it.
Under socialism. everything belongs to the government (even the people), and only the government has rights. That's the way the Democrats want it throughout the world, so long as THEY are the government.

Socialism is strictly political; Communism is political and economic.

socialism allows some private property and usually comes to power through democracy or some other peaceful method.
Communism allows for no private property and usually comes to power through warfare.
