This seems like a good time for you to eliminate the words "communism" and
"socialism" from your vocabulary until you've spent some time at the
library.

In Marxist theory, communism is a system of organization based on the
holding of all property in common with actual actual ownership being
ascribed to the community as a whole or to the state.

Socialism is the stage following capitalism in the transition of a
society to communism, characterized by the imperfect implementation of
collectivist principles according to Marx.

Those are the classic interpretations.

Apply them at your peril. :)
