Democracy is the relationship between the rulers and the ruled , which allows for values of character and individual persons integrity to shine in paramount public decisions . In contrast, according to John Donald Lewis, a scholar of comparative politics, communism can be reached through a dictatorship where the proletariat class rules and utilizes force freely on the ruled people . These two definitions highlight the dissimilarity between the two regimes. Under democracy, when citizens are represented, their voices are heard. One example of democracy at work is the Declaration of Independence, which gave an outcome of certain “inalienable rights” to the people to ensure their individual freedom . The outcomes of this very important document stand today, revealed by the strength of the modern United States as a country. Communist states do not have a similar document to protect individual freedom seen by the constitution of the U.S.S.R. In this constitution, power is said to be divided among eleven different decentralized states with one leader. All the while in reality, the communist party had an ever-present control that lead like a machine . The USSR falling in 1991 shows that the product of involving the citizens works better than giving all power to leaders.

During this election, there was not one criticism of the government, because there was only one “legal” party, which provides a body that cannot legislate because they cannot debate . This outcome is negative for the reason that there is no improvement of the current (at the time) system. Overall, communism is said to lead to a dictatorship that is ruthless and destroys institutions that provide liberty . The outcomes from these two
