Why are Communism and Democracy mutually exclusive (Score 1)

As per your sig: "I say those who fear communism lack faith in democracy", I am curious as to why those are mutually exclusive.

I'm not saying that communism is a superior economic system to capitalism. I am simply saying, what makes you think that you can't have a democratic communist republic?
