Communism is more of an economic system than a political one. The basis of Communism is no personal property, and thus no individual rights; the state owns everything and you own nothing. It hypes the community over the individual. Theoretically you could have a democratic communism, but it likely wouldn't last long as people would vote for more individual rights and freedoms.
