What are the key principles of true communism and how do they differ from other forms of socialism?
The key principles of true communism include the abolition of private property, a classless society, and the idea of "from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs." Communism aims for a stateless and moneyless society where resources are shared equally among all individuals.
In contrast, other forms of socialism may still allow for some private property and a market economy, with the goal of reducing income inequality and providing social welfare programs. Socialism typically involves a mix of public and private ownership of resources, while communism advocates for complete public ownership and control of all resources.

What became of communism?
The various ideologies that come under the banner of communism (and by extension, socialism) are still alive in various forms around the world. In terms of governments calling themselves communist or socialist, this has largely ended since 1991 after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. The specific communist ideology that the USSR operated under (and Cuba still does) is Marxism-Leninism (also known as Stalinism). This however, is just one of the many, many ideologies falling under the socialism banner. But thanks to much propaganda and misinformation from capitalist nations, and to people like Joseph McCarthy, communism has become synonymous with the authoritarian Marxist-Leninist governments throughout the 20th century. It should be noted that none of the 'Communist' Marxist-Leninist nations in history ever actually achieved a society that matches the definition of communism - one that is stateless, moneyless, and classless. This was usually due to the creation of authoritarian bureaucracies by people more concerned with power and status than the state of the working class. These bureaucracies began to stray from the goal of socialism or communism, for various historical and ideological reasons. It is easy to dismiss the entire ideology and it's various forms by stating something about 'human nature', as so many who don't understand much about it or it's history do. But socialism and communism are still alive and well in union movements, activist organisations and political parties around the world. To dismiss it entirely is to ignore its history and successes throughout the world and throughout recent history.

The system of government that adopts some of the belief of communism with regard to government ownership and economic control but without communism's heavy handed abuses of human rights is called?
Supposedly communism is simply referring to how much regulation the economy should have, the problem is that most "communist" countries have histories of human rights abuses. The current platform of the Communist Party USA illustrates a "communist democracy" where people would enjoy the same civil rights they do now but would heavily regulate corporations but not a lot of people trust them because of the history that communism has in other countries. In a real sense, the answer of democratic socialism may come closer to a better economy. Communism seeks to create a classless society, this means the use of force, and the "leaders" retain their "class of leadership".
What is a part of communism but not socialism?
Many view communism as an extension of socialism, like the next stage in the development of society after socialism. The definition of communism is generally accepted as a stateless, classless, and moneyless society, where the means of production and owned by the people and society is run for the good of the people, not for profit or personal gain. Socialism is a broader category of ideologies that share the common goal of social ownership of the means of production, but doesn't have a definition of society quite as specific as the one that is used for communism. It should be noted however, that Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels used the terms interchangably, although the development of the many different forms over the years has created clearer lines between the two terms.
Describe utopian socialism how is it different from communism?
Some forms of Utopian socialism share a lot of traits with authentic Marxist communism. The major difference between the two is Marxism is based upon "scientific socialism", and is a predicted outcome that Marx made based on the observations of society and history. Communism is based upon the materialist conception of history, while Utopian socialism is usually devoid of economics and the social forces, such as class conflict, that are forcing society to progress toward socialism. In short, utopian socialism is simply a set of goals and an outline for a society people would like to have. It can be technocratic, meritocratic (as in the case of Simon) or egalitarian (as in the case of Fourier) and communal (as in the case of Robert Owen). Communism, in the Marxian sense, is the end result of a historical struggle that is observed throughout history and by examining social and economic relationships.
