While both socialism and communism require centralized control of the
economy towards the greater good of all (as defined by the state), socialism
allows private ownership of capital resources and communism does not.
This is fairly orthogonal to the idea of ``political system''. A strong
element of what is ordinarily called ``communism'' is control by the people
via voting. Not that I think any of this has been implemented anywhere.
