Socialism is the means of production being owned by the workers, if you think that that's communism then I don't know what to tell you.

Yes, that is communism. In communism also, workers control the means of production. Socialism is supposed to be the transitionary stage - where a revolution has happened, a post-revolutionary state has been built, but a classless society has not yet been achieved. A communist state is supposed to be a quasi-utopia where all the contradictions of capitalism have been overcome; there is no class, no private property, no religion, and so on.

Or at least this is what the word communism means in Marxist theory. Others may use it differently.
