Answer 2

communism is an economic system where all means of production are owned by the State. Socialism is an economic system where certain key means of production are owned by the State. Both flow out of the writings of Karl Marx. Socialism was defined by Marx in his book "Das Kapital" (Capital). Communism was defined by Karl Marx and Frederich Engels in the "Communist Manifesto". Both systems are alternatives to the capitalist system. Communism has failed utterly, culminating in the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. That was the first nation to adopt communism as an economic system,beginning in October of 1917. There are but three communist countries left: the Peoples Republic of China (mainland China), the Peoples Democratic Republic of Korea (North Korea) and Cuba.
There are many socialist countries still around. The three nations which make up Scandinavia, some other European countries, Mexico and other nations of Latin America and several in Africa.
