Communism seeks to have all its citizens share goods equally in a communal system. Ideally, and this has yet to happen, there would be no class system in a communist country nor no privilaged status based on any religious identification.
The huge failure of the Soviet Union clearly demonstrated how open to corruption and explotation of its public a communist system can be.

Ten Planks of the Communist Manifesto:
1. Abolition of private property and the application of all rent to public purpose.
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the State, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly.
6. Centralization of the means of communication and transportation in the hands of the State.
7. Extention of factories and instruments of production owned by the State, the bringing into cultivation of waste lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.
8. Equal liablity of all to labor. Establishment of Industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country by a more equable distribution of the population over the country.
10. Free education for all children in government schools. Abolition of children's factory labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production, etc. etc.

In fact, as someone (can't remember who) said, Communism hasn't been tried and found wanting, Communism has not yet been tried. Under the name of Communism, the ideals set forth by Karl Marx were first adapted by Lenin, and then totally perverted by Stalin. Perhaps the only truly communist groups have been the early Christians and the Diggers. As to laws, most of the everyday laws of any nation would apply. Murder, theft and so on are not allowable in any organised society. (Well, theoretically...) No two 'Communist' countries have followed exactly the same path. From the totalitarian personality cult of North Korea to the intriguing blend of capitalism and communism in the PRC, there's a very wide spectrum of systems. Just as there is in the 'capitalist' world.

Each country follows its own legal code. For example, here's a very brief description of what China does:
"Constitution:
most recent promulgation 4 December 1982
Legal system:
a complex amalgam of custom and statute, largely criminal law; rudimentary civil code in effect since 1 January 1987; new legal codes in effect since 1 January 1980; continuing efforts are being made to improve civil, administrative, criminal, and commercial law"
That's from this excellent resource in which you can look up any country in the world:

To know exactly what each country does, you would have to research their national laws. This would be a starting place for China: http://www.llrx.com/features/china2.htm
