So does the community vote on everything then? If there are too many decisions, could they appoint someone to make some of the decisions on their behalf? Or does every little decision need to be voted on by everyone? If not, I don't see how it's different than democracy

Democracy and capitalism are not synonymous.

And about capitalism, rich people (and by "rich", I mean people that don't need to work to stay rich and stay getting richer) have more access and influence on decision making them anybody else. Decision power should be spread more evenly, your society can have people delegated to take decisions, but that decisions should reflect the interest of the society as a whole, not only who gets economic power.

Agree, but are democracy and anarchy synonymous? The original post was taking about anarchical communism witch I thought was different than democratic socialism.

are democracy and anarchy synonymous? Idk enough of anarchy to answer that.

I thought was different than democratic socialism. AFAIK they are different indeed
