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.
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.
