Capitalism is an economic system in which the means of production are privately owned by some while others, the workers, must try to sell their labour to the capitalists in order to survive. The driving force behind capitalism is to accumulate as much capital as possible in order to accumulate even more.

Socialism is a term that can be used to refer to any economic system which is based on the common ownership of the means of production and human co-operation in work and society more generally.

Communism is often associated with Stalinism though this is far from what Marx, Engels, Lenin, Trotsky and many others meant by the term.

Marxism envisions an ongoing process in which a new socio-economic and political system will develop and eventually mature. Socialism here is referred to as the lowest stage of communism and communism as the highest stage of socialism. Communist society will be classless and free of war, poverty, homelessness, illiteracy, racism, sexism, homophobia, etc. The ultimate goal is human happiness and harmony.
