Renewed protests threaten to delay Nano India launch (government type discrepancy; please edify me)

West Bengal's communist government took about 1,000 acres of farmers' land for the factory. The state offered compensation in return, but some complained they did not receive their dues


Wait a minute, I keep hearing and reading about "The united states in India" and how they are "(the middle east's) biggest demnocracy."

Last I recall, communism is not quite the same thing as a democracy...?

1. Communism is an economic system, democracy is a political system
You can even have a communist democracy.
