Here's a hot take: Both systems are shit and we need something better to replace both.

I'm not saying I have the solution; just that what we have now isn't working very well.

That aside:

Democracy ≠ Capitalism, and Communism ≠ Dictatorship.

Those are four seprate terms that are not synonyms for each other. Just because people hate Capitalism does not mean they dream of a Dictatorship... Wanting to work together towards communal goals is not the same as wanting to be ruled by some King/Queen.
