The key difference here between communism and the American experiment, is that America was trying to improve upon ideas which had been somewhat successfully executed in the past. Mainly they were trying to be The Roman Republic with more protection for land owners and small businesses. They had a historical basis for their ideals.


 
But the MAIN differences here comes down to the fact that communism at its core, is trying to fundamentally change the foundation of the state with the end goal of destroying both it and the notion of social class all together.


 
America is simply a nation founded on the principal that The Individual has certain inalienable rights that they are entitled to. That the rights of the individual are more important than the collective.
