Socialism an economic system in which most or all the needs of the population are met through non-market methods of distribution.

Communism a political ideology of a classless society in which the means of production are shared through state ownership and in which rewards are not tied to productivity but need.



Very few societies are purely capitalist or purely socialist, although most are more strongly one than the other. The United States, for example, is considered to be a capitalist society, but the Social Security system, which provides support for people who are unable to work, is socialistic. Sweden is considered by some people to be a socialist country because of its high tax rate and large welfare system, but the majority of industry in the nation is in private hands, which is capitalistic.
