Communalism is described as a tool of mobilize people for / against by raising an appeal on communal lines. ... In its latest manifestation, communalism amounts to discrimination against a religious group in matters of employment, education, commerce, politics, etc.

Answer 2

1. In Communism, Community ownership is the real sense of understanding . This can be visualized as we go back to the days of class less society. But in the real world, Public ownership is the main feature of communism.

2. Freedom of people is surrendered to the community leadership/public owner like Government. In case of capitalism, one can have more freedom.

3. Communism is the expectation of the worker class even though they themselves have the mind of a capitalist. Hence it is a Utopian concept, i.e. cannot be realized.
 
4. It is the final result of worker class revolution. Therefore it is not a natural process but it is a human induced revolutionary process as per the actual theories. But according to me,communism is the final stage of economic progress which I mentioned in my another article.

5. Equitable distribution of resources and benefits is another salient feature of communism. Current international politics on climatic change even adopts the ideology of communism even though it is too late.This should have done from the industrial revolution phase atleast.

6. Anti colonialism or Anti imperialism is another feature of communism. Communism strictly objected the social Darwinism phenomenon.

7. A Communist society can be called a uniform Society with no heterogeneity. Whereas in Capitalistic society, economic strata can be seen which resulted into heterogeneous society.

8. Communism is the ideology which is altered by people and the understanding of communism varies with region to region. It is a conceptual unreality in the real world till date.

9. The pure philosophy of communism can be achieved only through conscience, that is in the final stage of socio-economic development. How a person can share his bread if he is not getting sufficient amount of bread? Therefore Communism is a form of Social reformation which is capable of altering the socio-economic mindset of the people. 

10. Work according to his ability and take benefit according to his needs is the motto of communism. Communism is a self driven naturalistic process cultured by human therefore. That means, Communism is a system which works on the self driving mechanism of (need)  demand and (ability)supply. 

11. Nationalization of banks is a step towards communism. Ideally Socialistic goals result into communism ultimately. Therefore another important feature of communism is it is the integration of socialistic actions/policies. 

12. Communism ideology created international polarizations in the fundamental ideological aspects. Now we have multi polar power centres due to this.

13. Effectively this philosophy of communism stands for the poor in the society, therefore it is the representative of poorer strata.   

14. The ideology of communism results into internal security issues in many parts of the developing and under developing countries of the world. Hence in the contemporary world it is acting as a force which pushes back the surge of development. At the same time Communism serves as a power balance in the society which represents the poor strata always.

15. Co-operative societies, Community actions, Bhoodan  movement and land reformations all have the traits of communism. Therefore Communism promotes the agricultural productivity of a nation since, class elimination (feudalism and intermediaries) is the major aspect of the theory of communism. 

16 Communism is anti-feudal in nature. 

17. Complete Decentralization of power is another important feature of Communism.

18. Class less society and egalitarianism results into Co-operation and there cannot be any heterogeneity or diversity. Once less diversity, the unification of culture may happens. Thus Communism unifies culture but at the same time historic cultural diversity will be lacking. Currently we can see so many cultural diverse products but when the society unifies, there may not have diverse cultural monuments, literature etc.
