If all political thought was broken down into owning, or caring for 2 cows Communism and capitalism would be described in one line as follows

COMMUNISM:

You have two cows, the government take both and give you the milk

CAPITALISM:

You have two cows, you sell one and buy a bull.

Answer 3

Communism or Capitalism is a sort of way, an idiology, how  a country is ruled politically .

Communism means that everybody has to live and  work in communities and the government takes care of every subject, no one is very poor or very rich.  

(At least, that's the goal).

Capitalism is  a way of life that is based on earning as much money as you can, so in capitalism there are very rich and very poor people.

In capitalism  the government does not force the rich to share their money with the poor.

Just look for Communism and Capitalism in Wikipedia if you want to know more.

Answer 4

Get rich quick schemes in the capitalist business world, (buyouts, IPOs, conglomerates, acquisitions, mergers, and the stock market), do not actually work. Remaining solvent does not actually exist within false economics capitalism.

Profit existing in the capitalist business world, or millionaires existing within capitalism, is pathological deception committed by the 21 organizations spying on the population with plain clothes agents, (with covert fake names and fake backgrounds).

Actual economics is the persons that are paying the business loans of companies voting at work in order to control the property they are paying for.

Capitalism is the psychology of imaginary parents, false economics, and the criminal deception of employees that are paying the bills (including the stocks and bonds, or shares) of companies.

Anti-Democracy Republicanism is the psychology of imaginary parents, and false government.

Answer 5

Communism is when the state has complete control of corporate enterprises, and Capitalism is when corporate enterprises have complete control of themselves. Socialism is in between the two.  

Answer 6

Communism is supposed to be a system ruled by the working class, without the having wealthy people controlling everything.  This is more of a socialist idea.,  some socialist ideas are libraries, police, welfare, firefighters, and other government run organizations.  It's more the government being in charge of business.

Capitalism is where people don't rely on the government as much as they do each other.  For example in USA medical care is mostly run and owned by businesses.  This is a capitalist idea, but in Canada we have free health care because it is like the library's, a socialist idea.    

Answer 7

Communism:

You work, most of your proceeds go to the government, who then redistributes wealth among the people.  No incentive to do better, as it won't happen.  History has shown this system of government does not work.  Cuba is poor, North Korea is starving.  Even China has gone to a free market economy.

Capitalism:

You work, keep most of what you make for you, and pay taxes that fund government services.  Incentive for success is based on opportunity for wealth.  This system has always proven to be successful for those who will work.
