Actually, communism is very rare. Not the USSR, China, or any national government. Closest examples would be monasteries and the military.

Socialism, well, that's a very vague term. It's just as vague -- and therefore meaningless -- as "capitalism."

But the basic idea is that if you're going to have a society, it might as well be social. Beats being anti-social, but YMMV.
