共产主义者和资本主义者是殊途同归的吗？还是说他们从根本上就不同？

Do communists and capitalists want the same things through different avenues? Or are they fundamentally different?

They are fundamentally different. Communists want a society in which all work in order to contribute to society and then just take whatever they need from the goods and services available. Income and work are not necessarily linked and everyone has an equal share in the means of production.
他们从基础开始就是不同的。共产主义者想要的是一个所有人都为社会贡献而工作的社会，然后大家可以从可用的产品和服务中得到任何他们需要的。收入和工作之间没有必然联系，所有人在生产资料中享有相等的份额。

Capitalists seek individual paths to wealth in which people compete over scarce resources. If those resources are not actually scarce, strategies must be found to make them scarce as capitalism requires competition to function. Private ownership of productive capital is also considered essential and maximising profit is the main function of most economic activity.
资本主义者寻求的是在人们关于稀缺资源的竞争中找到个人通往财富的道路。如果那些资源并非真正稀缺的，也必须找到一种战略使他们变得稀缺，因为资本主义的运作需要竞争。生产资本的私有制也被认为是资本主义的必须要素，而利润最大化是大多数经济活动的主要职责。

Capitalism and communism operate on the basis of fundamentally different paradigms. Obviously, it is clear that no tryuly communist society has ever yet existed and it is far from established that it ever could exist in reality. Actual communist regimes have certainly never come close, although they have managed certain forms of bureaucratic non-capitalist state socialism for certain periods of time.
资本主义和共产主义运行在完全不同的理论体系的基础上。显然，共产主义社会还没有真正地存在过，并且它在现实中是否有可能存在也远未得到认可。尽管在一些特定时期，共产主义者们已经经营了几种国家社会主义的非资本主义官僚制国家，但真正的共产主义政体确实还从未向我们靠近。
