I don't think many even know what a communist is or what communism is about. it just makes them feel upset when they hear the word because of constant corporate mass media conditioning.

US-americans: "Communism is when the government does things. The more things it does the communistier it gets."

Communism is the government owning the means of production. Socialism is the people owning the means.

Socialism is a mode of production where public ownership is the principle aspect of the economy. Communism is a post-socialist mode of production where all of production has been collectivized globally, the commodity form fully abolished, etc.
