The differences between a communist and a capitalist society are many and could easily fill a large book. The short, practical answer to this is that in a communist society the government controls the money, controls what people do to earn it, and distributes the wealth equally among the populace. In a capitalist society wealth is controlled by the people, and the harder you work the more you can earn. The government doesn't control every aspect of the economy.
Communists believe in a classless society while Capitalism has the upper, middle and lower class. In a communist society people make the same wages, making everyone equal. In a capitalistic society people earn different amounts of money. There is yet to be a communist nation anywhere. Communists believe in an equal distribution of wealth, in which everyone has the same amount of money, however, Capitalism varies in distribution of wealth, therefore, is made up of the upper, middle, and lower class.
The definition of a capitalist society is any society that makes profit or makes any kind of capital. Capital is resources such as money, lumber, grain, TVs things of value that can be traded or used. All societies are capitalist societies as all governments and countries must produce and posses capital to survive. The difference between governments is who has ownership of the capital. In communist countries, all the capital is posesed by and for the government , even people are defined as capital. In so called capitalist countries (Usually western republics and democracies) The greater wealth of capital resides in the people and is privatley owned with some going to the government as taxes. So technically your question is meaningless however your definition of a capitalist society could fit the description of the United States, the United Kingdom, Italy, Canada and many other nations.

In a communist society the means of production are controlled by the state and not by private enterprise. However it should be noted that while certain country's describe themselves a s Communist states and others a s capitalist the aim of neither has ever come close to being reached.

Hong Kong never became a communist society. It instead operates under a capitalist democratic government.
Russia was state capitalist and controlled other eastern European state capitalist countries. They had no connection at all with Communism (a classless stateless society based on production for use).
They are not considered to be parties. Capitalism is an economic system, Communism is a political ideology that aims for a post-capitalist economic system. There are Communist parties, which claim to want to build a communist system eventually. There are no parties with the name capitalist, because we currently live in a capitalist society. Basically, all political parties are capitalist - they are all parties of capitalism.
A central idea in Marx's Communist Manifesto is the concept of class struggle between the bourgeoisie (capitalist class) and the proletariat (working class). Marx argues that this conflict is inherent in capitalist societies and will eventually lead to the overthrow of the bourgeoisie and the establishment of a classless society based on common ownership of the means of production.
China is not Communist. It was formerly state capitalist and is now a mix of private and state capitalist. Communism means the abolition of the wages system and establishment of a classless society.
Yugoslavia was state capitalist, not Communist (which means a classless stateless society based on production for use).
Karl Marx
China is currently the most populous country, and it happens to be communist.

The doctrine that developed from the Communist Manifesto is Marxist communism, which advocates for the abolition of private property, a classless society, and the eventual dictatorship of the proletariat leading to a stateless, classless society. It emphasizes the need for revolution to overthrow the capitalist system and establish a socialist society.
