    Communism is a type of government and can be democratic.

    interesting, do you have a historic example for a democratic communist state?

      do you have a historic example for a democratic communist state?

      Communism by definition is stateless, so the question is a paradox. A better question:

      do you have a historic example of a capitalist state where the workers own the means of production?

        so real communism is very unlikely to be achieved and everyobe who believes otherwise is delusional?

          Yep,

          According to Xi, “the consolidation and development of the socialist system will require its own long period of history… it will require the tireless struggle of generations, up to ten generations.” Source

          That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t strive for socialism with American characteristics. /s
