Generally speaking pure socialism exists nowhere. Nations where the government has allot of power in the economics of a country but allows freedom of speech, different political parties, the secret ballot, free unions, and a good degree of private enterprise are called democratic socialist......
..In these countries by voting, the people can change the economic policies of their government.
In contrast, a theoretical communist country, much like the former USSR was, and now to a large degree China, the government is authoritarian. Only the communist party is allowed. This also means that freedom of speech is very limited, no major private enterprises can exist, and if they do, they are closely controlled by the communist government. Wages are also controlled.
In my view, democratic socialism is far better than a communist system.

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.

Communism seeks to create a classless society, this means the use of force, and the "leaders" retain their "class of leadership".
