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.
