“Communism” isn’t incompatible with “democracy”. For example, in Italy, 
they have Communists who take part in democratic elections, and actually 
achieve power that way, legitimately.

Funny how, in the US, the Communist party was banned as a threat to social 
order, yet the KKK were allowed to continue spreading their violent 
bigotry and hatred largely unchecked. Guess which one had managed to 
thoroughly infiltrate the power elite, and which one had not?
