I often see these words used interchangeably, though as I understand it there is a difference between the two ideologies, no?

Human society was communist for over a hundred thousand years before the idea of empires and cities came along. Indigenous communities lived under what we would call communism in the modern day until feudalism was invented.
Some communities, I’d say. I’m pretty sure the systems in indigenous communities were diverse (and they still are, at many places).
No, ancient tribes were not soviets.
They sort of were. They just didn’t have a word for it.
