Definition:
Communism is an economic theory created by Karl Marx. The theory states to abolish all private property, and make workers the most powerful people in society and giving them less hours. The people get benefits for being workers.
Money and class under true Communism does not exist. To show how it would
work (In theory, mind you.), go play some Minecraft with friends. Proceed to try to survive in Hardcore mode. It is more than likely that you would share everything in order to be more
happy and not die. It bases off of class war/struggle.
Communism only works in theory, however. Capitalism, the opposite of Communism, bases off of a "you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours." theory. If you want an apple
pie, but you can't make them. Only
Bob, but you're the only one who can weave clothing, then Capitalism would allow you to give
Bob a piece of clothing while he gives you the
pie. This is how Capitalism works. Communism says that
Bob will make nothing but
apple pies, all day every day, and you should make clothes all day every day. Then you give all of your products to the
government and then the government redistributes them. Capitalism just leads to improvement where Communism leads to stagnation.
