Capitalism is the state controlled by the capital owners with the workers repressed.

Socialism is the state controlled by the workers with the capital owners repressed.

They are literally hard opposites. One is a bourgeoise-state and the other is a proletarian-state.

Capitalism is where everything is owned by an individual

Socialism is where only the means of production are owned by the state, but the individual still has private properties

Communism is where everything is owned by the state
