Historically speaking, one of the underlying noticeable differences between Communism in practice and Capitalism (which technically can include quite a lot of socialism, a little socialism, or none at all) in practice is that in Communism it’s usually somewhat harder to get things. As in material goods and supplies. It can end up ranging from being a little harder to get things to a lot harder to get things, often depending on a person’s social class. Yes, Communist systems still end up organizing societies into social classes because it turns out that it’s impossible for humans not to collate into class hierarchies once they hit 1,000 or more in number, they just don’t like you to call them socioeconomic classes in Communism because that would be loading an argument for you to make about hypocrisy in that society.
Capitalism is usually comparatively good at providing things to people for a price. Socialism is designed to help them afford those things more easily.
Another difference (which I’m guessing is subtle but very emotionally and functionally significant) is that while there is private ownership of possessions in both Capitalism and Communism, Communism does not allow private ownership of companies. The government technically owns all the companies in a Communist system.
Of course, you can find good people just about anywhere.
