First Id like to know what communism is and how it is different from socialism?

This is the distinction between Marx (philosophical) vs. Stalin (implementation)

Second I would also like to know about why Russia collapsed.

It collapsed because it became both economically & inherently bankrupt; ultimately free communications enabled enough Russians to realize the whole thing was a big lie which couldn't remain bottled up forever.

Third could you tell me why you refer to certain people such as Ann Goodman and Helen Thomas as Communists?

They are sympathetic to the beliefs, practices & personalities of the communist world, albeit dictators or their policies.

Finally Id like to know the advatages of Captialism.

Peace and Freedom

Amen. Add to that personal rights and their attendant responsibilities, and equality of opportunity as opposed to the socialist/communist insistence on equality of outcome.
