Communists believe in a classless society while Capitalism has the upper, middle and lower class. In a communist society people make the same wages, making everyone equal. In a capitalistic society people earn different amounts of money. There is yet to be a communist nation anywhere.

Communists believe in an equal distribution of wealth, in which everyone has the same amount of money, however, Capitalism varies in distribution of wealth, therefore, is made up of the upper, middle, and lower class.

In communism, one is not alienated from their labor and derives direct benefit from labor in proportion to its value. In capitalism, labor is sold as a product and the utility derived from labor for the laborer is independent from the utility the capitalist derives from the labor.

What difference between communist an capitalist society?

The differences between a communist and a capitalist society are many and could easily fill a large book. The short, practical answer to this is that in a communist society the government controls the money, controls what people do to earn it, and distributes the wealth equally among the populace. In a capitalist society wealth is controlled by the people, and the harder you work the more you can earn. The government doesn't control every aspect of the economy.
