Communism is a system where the government has been completely dismantled as the dictatorship of the proletariat has eventually created a sustainable system of shared resources that requires no state. It is a system where human liberty is maximized.


This is impossible and would/will never happen. There will always be a centralized authority body that will take up what ever space it's allowed, take what it wants, and give back what it deems necessary to maintain itself.

It's pretty telling for PaRD's state that asking a question about the definition of capitalism causes people to go in defensive mode.


yeah that was the point

capitalism
Ideal: The idea that labor creates value and high standard of living. The fact that poverty has decreased so significantly over the past 100 years is fairly good evidence to support this idea.
Practical: Game theory creates large wealth discrepancies similar to a standard bell curve. This is in line with what happens in nature. However, with humans. the strongest can often manipulate others. Those strongest individuals sometimes gain unfairly and be rewarded for bad behavior if the laws of the society are not strong and accurate enough to keep up.


socialism
Ideal: A government with social policies that provides services for free to certain individuals at the expense of others.
Practical: Some work quite well like libraries, first aid squads, and fire departments. However, at its worst the policy causes a moral hazard that actually increases the amount of bad behavior and bad situations. ie: when you reward bad behavior, you get more bad behavior and vice versa.


communism
Ideal: Society where resources are allocated equally with everyone regardless of their ability (or lack of ability) to be productive
Practical: Oligarchies that restrict political and economic freedoms to a level that resembles a dictatorship.


alot of users use these words here but id like to see what they mean to each of you


There are ideal definitions and practical examples. This is probably the best answer you can get.

Capitalism - An economic system in which the means of production (factories, shares of companies, etc.) are held individually in the pursuit of personal profit. Decisions are made by the owners through hired officials such as CEOs and managers.

Socialism - An economic system in which the means of production are held by the workers of the institution and operated for a profit. I.e. a factory is owned by the workers of the factory, who all vote on hires, responsibilities, wages, etc.

Communism - An economic system in which the means of production are held collectively by the society in which they are located and are operated for the good of the community. While decision making can be organized in any way, it is typically organized with a central authority.



Private property (your xbox, your personal computer, your car) are all still owned by individuals under all three systems.


Not necessarily. Land and improvements to it can be both private property and means of production.
