Where did you learn that? Communism has NOTHING to do with democracy. It is possible to have a demcratically elected government that works within a communist economic system. In Canada we have a highly democratic system and we have a communist party.
You Yanks have this weird irrational fear of communism and socialism, and I think it comes from knowing so little about it. By the way, don't start the old "Communism was USSR, etc. and it's bad" thread. We've been down that road before. Those nations used dictatorships to centralize power and money. True communism, as stated by Marx (read any of his works?) cannot function thank to human nature. Communism as we have known it is nothing more than a non-capitalism based dictatorship used for opressive purposes.
