What is the difference between Communist society and Socialist society?

Question

Both of them stated that workers should get freedom and free themselves from capitalism, and overthrow private property..

Answer 1

To my knowledge, there is only one big difference.

In a communist society, the state has ownership and control over most economic and physical resources.

In a socialist society, a democratically elected body of government distributes all resources to the people of their state in equal measure. In this case, the citizens of said state would have ownership instead of the government.

Another difference is that in the structure of the classes. In a communist state, the class system is abolished entirely, while in socialist state, the differences between the classes are abolished in terms of privileges. However, it is possible for some citizens to earn more than others.

Also, communism effectively abolishes religion, whereas socialism allows for freedom of religion.

I hope this helps!
