I have been looking for definition all over the internet but it confuses me some more.
From what I understand...communism is where the earnings are shared. So if person A works his derriere off and person B decides to lazy around, they both still get the same amount of money. The money owed to person A is divided. Such is how China and Russia function.
Capitalism is you get what you deserve. Hence capitalist entreprenuers are dime a dozen in the west. You show your talent and you earn a living.
Socialism is...I have no clue. They say Obama is a socialist who will ruin America. What exactly is socialism and how does it differ from the two above.
I am watching the Matt Damon film Elysium which, all pundits are claiming is a socialist agenda ridden work.
Can someone plz explain what capitalism, socialism and communism are

If you're still in school, take political science courses.
Capitalism can be unfair and lead to crippling inequality.
Communism can punish success.
Socialism can be inefficient.
They all have their flaws. But they're not mutually exclusive systems; China has a communist-capitalist government, and most of Western Europe uses social capitalism.
Socialism = Everyone works as much as they want, but everyone gets an equal share of the fruits
Capitalism = Those that work harder earn more. Those that sit on their tails starve.
Communsm = The government/state owns everything. You get what they decide.

And the unlucky ones starve too. Our capitalist system doesn't always reward hard work or intelligence; try reading Outliers by Malcom Gladwell. It's really interesting to see how some people are just born into a position to succeed.

Oh yeah, and takin our guns!

Herp de herp. Yesserieee bob.
Strictly speaking, communism is a classless society without inequality. However, the USSR was not communist. On the path to communism, a society must first be industrialized; Russia wasn't when Lenin took over. He did not follow Marx.

They don't necessariy succeed. They are what is considered the "protected class". These are politically connected elites like Chelsea Clinton or Michelle Nunn.
