Socialism vs. Communism: Government

One difference is that the government is elected by the people in socialism, but in communism, the government picks the government.
Control is the industries job in socialism. In communism the people are controlled by the government is most aspects. They design your life.
Another big diffrence is the fact that because in communism wages are controlled by the government, there are no taxes. Socialism has huge taxes on the people, so they are able to do the things they want to. Socialism gives you government security to retire. In Communism, you retire when the government says so.
