The main difference between socialism and communism is that socialism involves collective ownership and control of the means of production by the government or the people, while communism aims to create a classless society where all property is owned by the community as a whole. Additionally, socialism is seen as a transitional stage towards communism, where the state eventually withers away and true equality is achieved.
