Is it possible for there to be some form of government between communism and democracy?

Answer 1

Communism is an economic system, not a system of government.

The opposite of communism (central/shared ownership) is capitalism (individual ownership). But either could theoretically exist in anything from a democracy to a republic to a monarchy.

Democracy is straight voter control. All decisions based on individual votes. The US is not a democracy. It is a republic, where we elect people to make laws for us, rather than doing it ourselves.

The opposite of a democracy is a monarchy, where one person has total control. If that person chooses to ignore the laws of the country with impunity, then it becomes a tyranny.

But it's mix-and-match how you combine economic systems, which determine how property is owned, with government systems, which determine how laws are made.

Answer 2

Yes, it's called a Republic and the United States is one.

The exact meaning of democracy means that EVERY CITIZEN determines what's done. The more common form of government has an executive that makes decisions and "executes" them, partially based on the endorsement of the people. The people have an INDIRECT voice in government.

Answer 3

Its called socialism and it still bites compared to a capitalist democracy or republic like the United States.

Answer 4

I believe its called socialism. I want a democracy. If someone wants anything different, then go for it.

Answer 5

There can definitely be other forms of govt besides those 2.

Answer 6

Anarchy, but it relies on the faith that people will do what they need to without rules.
