    Election where you can only vote for one party isn’t particularly democratic.

    Why not? You vote. Parties are just an abstraction.

    Neither is one with two parties, for that matter.

    The more parties it has the more democratic it is? Please. Even in countries with advanced proportional representation schemes, you instead just get huge party alliances based on regionalism, and guess what, they remain capitalist bourgeoisie dictatorships.

    The USSR was democratic, it was a capitalist democracy, like well, all modern democracies. Just because it came in a different form doesn’t make it somehow not democratic.
