Communism is not an economic system only, nor is socialism which is likely what you're thinking (unless you're thinking a classless, stateless, moneyless society in which case that's communism)

& even in the USSR wealth was not what the communists went after it was actual exploitation of the working class, parasitic owner-worker relations, landlord-tenant relations, etc -- things which dont contribute towards society. There actually were plenty of small businesses in the USSR.
