Communism | Paradism | |
Ideas | All people are the same and therefore classes make no sense. The government should own all means of production and land and also everything else. People should work for the government and the collective output should be redistributed equally. | Technology can efficiently replace all human workforces.All the goods and services can be provided free to all.Everyone, free of constraint, will involve themselves into activities that contribute to increase the happiness and well-being of themselves as well as the whole community. |
Philosophy | From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs. Free-access to the articles of consumption is made possible by advances in technology that allow for super-abundance. | Technology provides for each all their needs and desires without expecting any contribution from each.Free-access to the articles of consumption is made possible by advances in technology that allow for super-abundance. |
Economic System | The means of production are held in common, negating the concept of ownership in capital goods.

Religion | Abolished - all religious and metaphysics is rejected. | Freedom of religion. |
Political System | Usually takes the form of totalitarianism as Marx described in The Communist Manifesto. Cronyism common. | A one world federation made of small self-determined communities that reflects the variety of cultural, religious and ethnic possibilities.An egalitarian society without governments and politicians ruling the people. A society that abides to the natural law where people freely follow the leadership of those whose ideas and actions contribute the most to their happiness.It is anarchism with geniocracy where a council of geniuses without any power meet to guide humanity. |
Economic coordination | Economic planning coordinates all decisions regarding investment, production and resource allocation. Planning is done in terms of physical units instead of money. | The management of resources, the production and distribution of goods and services is performed by supercomputers with little human supervision. |
Definition | International theory or system of social organisation based on the holding of all property in common, with actual ownership ascribed to the community or state. Rejection of free markets and extreme distrust of Capitalism in any form. | A theory or system of social organisation based on replacing the human workforce by intelligent machines making the goods and services free to all individuals.The means of production are owned by the community.

Way of Change | Government in a Communist-state is the agent of change rather than any market or desire on the part of consumers. Change by government can be swift or slow, depending on change in ideology or even whim. | Innovations that benefit individuals or humanity are adopted without constaints by the people and will naturally prevail. |
Ownership structure | The means of production are commonly-owned, meaning no entity or individual owns productive property. Importance is ascribed to "usership" over "ownership". | The means of production are commonly-owned.
