Answer 2

Communism is a type of market like captialism and socialism. The government runs every thing and it allocates all of the resources in the country. citizens are told what to make how much to make. Each citizen gets the same of everything no one is suppose to be any better off than the next person and their is not free market, meaning if you decide to run an ice cream stand it will belong to the government and all of the people you can not make a profit. There are no Ben & Jerry's or Bluebell everything is runby the government

Answer 3

Look around , it's government control of everything .

Answer 4

communism is a system of government, like democracy or dictatorship. the main point about it is that (in theory) everyone is equal, there is no single person of small groupd of people who rule the others. There are also no social classes (eg working classes, aristocracy etc). However, it has been demonstrated that this system cannot work and usually becomes a dictatorship (eg Stalin in the USSR and Mao ZeDong in China)

Answer 5

Communism is a system where everything belongs to "the community", so people own nothing much more than the clothes on their back, and the State owns everything.

It leaves no reward for personal incentive, and even the lives of the populace don't belong to them, but to the State.  Resisting was often death.

Communism is the next step between socialism and death.

Answer 6

Communism is a stateless, classless society which abolishes private property.  Simply, there is no law, nothing is owned and the workers are in control of production.  At least this is what communism is meant to be, it hasn't exactly been practiced.
