    Communism (from Latin communis, ‘common, universal’)[1][2] is a sociopolitical, philosophical, and economic ideology within the socialist movement,[1] whose goal is the creation of a communist society, a socioeconomic order centered around common ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange that allocates products to everyone in society based on need.

    – Socialism, the workers aren’t exploited, they get all the money they make because they own the business they work for, they collectively hire and fire. Workers keep the money they make.

    – Communism a social order in which the entire populace communually ‘owns’ all business and all resources are divided up as needed.

    Communism is in the Socialism wheelhouse, but it’s not a necessary part of Socialism. Socialism can maintain a consumerism corporate society in theory. Also democracy and republics can be socialist as Socialism doesn’t need an authoritarian police state to make it work, just people owning their own labor.
