Just wanted to point out that the distinction between communism and socialism is not whether it's the state that owns things. In fact there is no distinction. They are one and the same and both refer to workers owning the means of production. There are different types of communism, based on what that means. i.e. Leninists would generally believe that the state is representative of the people, via dictatorship of the proletariat and all that. Whereas council communists would have none of that and would prefer no state and councils of producers and consumers, and once you start digging into anarchism, you will find a bunch more other varieties of communism.
