Yes they are, no its not, and communism is not necessarily about social programs but forcing everyone to work (note Plank 8 in the Manifestos second chapter; the first clause can be rendered out of the original German as Equal forced labor for all).

Isn’t capitalism about forcing everyone to work? No work=no food. Communism is pretty opposite it nature. “Let others work since we all about to have no more than “fair share””
