Communalism (the proper, never used name for communism) is an Economic system.
Socialism is the Political system.
While Socialist governments usually employ some form of Communist economic policy, they can and do exist independently of each other. Saying that a countrys government is 'communist' is like calling the US form of government 'capitalist'.
