    Completely wrong because it is both, communism is an alternative to democracy, all systems use capitalism in some way to function, even communism, the capitalist part is just extremely heavily regulated, and you don’t have free markets.
    Communism was also traditionally called socialism, and the alternative to that is called social democracy, because contrary to communism/socialism Social Democracy is based on democracy, and not a one party system as Communism.

        Mostly Free Markets regulated to some degree, but even communism although they don’t really have free markets, they still have markets and companies. They are just regulated by quotas instead of supply and demand. And economically that model simply doesn’t work. Just as a 1 party system has always shown to be authoritarian.
