Answer:

below is the answer hope it helps :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Communism vs Dictatorship

Communism and dictatorship are very different in all aspects, political as well as economic ideologies.

In communism, the society or the community is on top of everything. But in dictatorship, society or community is only secondary and it is the dictator who governs everything.

Communism regards the society or community as powerful. But in dictatorship, it is the dictator who is the most powerful. Dictatorship is a system in which a single person rules the nation. On the other hand, in communism the power is not vested in a single individual.

In communism, the profit is shared equally in the community. Whereas in dictatorship, the profit is accumulated in only one person. When the society dictates the overall economy in communism, it is the dictator who has the last say in the economics of a nation in dictatorship.

When communism believes in common ownership, dictatorship believes in individual ownership. It is the community that handles the resources or the means of production in Communism. But in dictatorship, the dictator handles the means of production or resources. Communism stands for a free society where every one is equal.

Communism does not believe in private property and the wealth is owned by every person. In dictatorship, it is just the opposite. In communism, every one is equal. But in dictatorship, there are no equals.
