What is the difference between imperialism communism?

Imperialism is a policy and involves a big nation conquering smaller nations to increase its wealth and power. Communism is a form of government, wherein everyone is equal, no true head of government exists, and everyone serves to help one another, instead of selling each other goods with economic greed in mind. Communism has never existed in this true form on a large scale, as most attempts have ended with a dictator at the top. Imperialism, on the other hand, was rampant for centuries, mostly at the hands of Spain and Britain.
