Communism is a form of government in which the State owns everything, there is little or no private property. There is no ruling class; everyone is equal. Workers, farmers, and laborers of all types come together and share the fruits of their labor, taking from each according to his needs. The strength of this government is that all within it shares equally what the state outputs. No one is allowed to slip through the safety net into abject poverty.

A union is what gives the individual worker a voice a voice in decisions and evens that directly affects him or her.
