Is capitalism and communism the same and why?

Answer 1

No. Communism in the sense Marx, Engels, Lenin, Trotsky and others have meant it is in almost no way imaginable similar to capitalism, aside from the fact that both are better than the systems that came bfore them. Capitalism is better than feudalism and communism is better than capitalism. Communism in the sense most people mean it, Stalinism, has some more things in common with capitalism, both are very repressive and bureaucratic for example.

Answer 2

Capitalism: class division, wages system, massive inequalities, repressive state, wars, homelessness, hunger.

Communism: no classes, free access, equality, real democracy, no wars or homelessness.
