OK gumby i will prove you wrong 3 ways, wikipidia (by Definition), in my own words, and with numbers.
ok first,
i know you can read but i will bold some for you.

Contrasts with capitalismCapitalism contrasts with (and in Western Europe, developed out of) feudalism, where a monarch holds both law-making power and the ability to claim ownership over the land rather than having to purchase it; the monarch loans the land to vassals in exchange for various services, and the vassals, in turn, use serfs to work the land.

Capitalism contrasts with socialism, where the means of production are owned and run by popular collectives (such as the state) for the people. It contrasts with communism(THIS IMPORTANT GUMBY LISTEN UP)>>> where the means of production are owned collectively rather than privately by the workers themselves, and the produce of labor is collectivized, resulting in the "abolition of bourgeois property" ("private property") [2]. In addition, as suggested by Karl Marx, the products of labour are directly distributed "to each according to his need" [3], and "buying and selling" is abolished (Communist Manifesto).

and secondly in my own words.

what you dont get, is this thing called (get ready to google search) PROFIT MOTIVE. That is why communism doesnt work. No incintive to make a better life. (Read above)

then last but not least, numbers, lets say if you assign a number to each letter.

Communism= 3+15+13+13+21+14+9+19+13=120
Capitalism= 3+1+21+9+20+1+12+9+19+13=108

im sure we can agree 120 does NOT equal 108.

in conclusion, have i have just shown you how capitalism is not communism.

that was fun:thumbsup:
