Communism is a form of democracy (I'd say it's a 100% democracy by its defenition). Fascism is also a form of democracy. And even Sharia Law is a form of democracy (not so much as communism but still it is). And that's not a joke. But once again for those who've got a US education in municipal schools: republic is not democracy. For many serious reasons. As I said above, communism (by Marx) is much closer to a pure democracy than a republic is.
Man... where did you get your knowledge, ah?
Let me be your teacher for today and show you a very simple example.
In the constitutional republic you have the 1st amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
In the true democratic society the constitution is nothing. Only
people have a right to decide which law will pass and which won't. So the Christian majority rules that the 1st amendment is nothing, because they are majority and they are the power. No other religions than Christianity, no freedom of speech for infidels, no petitions to the Government if they came from minorities like colored people, LGBT or people of other religions.
You must have a real mental problem if you can't see that huge difference between democracy and constitutional republic.
