What are the differences between democratic and communist countries?
First of all, communism is really a form of economy. So, technically you could have a democratic communist country. Now, in general this doesn’t happen. Democratic countries generally have a capitalist or socialist/capitalist hybrid. A “Communist State” is a country ruled under a ONE party system (the USA has two parties, republican and democrats) that follows Marxist/Leninist theology. The people have less choice in representation in a Communist State, plus the communist economy. On the economy front, a communist economy is entirely government controlled. While capitalism is based on free enterprise. A communist economy tends to stagnate because of a lack of competition or motivation.
