Answer 1

1) The Soviet government controlled resources and discouraged private ownership of property.

Step-by-step explanation:

The capitalist system prioritizes the industry above the government, though it does allow the government to make necessary judgements when necessary, such as reigning in monopolies, or balancing the effects of capitalism on the environment with the products that capitalism creates.

The communist system says that it prioritizes giving people the power and means of production, but fails in the basic form by essentially making a one-head state that controls all means of productions. The communist system calls for relegating all properties into public properties (which essentially becomes government property), and to remove the personal ownership aspect.
