You think the USSR, DPRK, and so on are any different? What definition of communism are you using, my dude?

I'd we'd like to talk about genocides in countries that don't say they're communist? There's the Holocaust, ^Armenia, ^^Rwanda, ^^^Bangladesh, ^^^^Romania, ^^^^^Greece, ^^^^^^Assyria, ^^^^^^^Serbia/Croatia, ^^^^^^^^Chechnya

two defenitions from the urban dictionary

A form of government where the leader is chosen by popularity rather than ability to run a country. "I've said it before and I'll say it again; democracy simply doesn't work." -Kent Brockman by IKEM (?) on urban dictionary
Taken from the Greek 'demos' and 'kratos' ('people' and 'power' respectively), it refers to the system of government in which the entire population effectively rules through a concentrated body which relies on the population's opinion as a source for its policies. The French Revolution was sparked by ideals of liberty and democracy for all. by ryanM on urban dictionary

that's what democracy is

I'm aware of the definition of democracy. I wasn't aware of the meaning of 56 Chinas - we know fascist types love numerically coded language - 14 words, 18/50, 88, 18, and so on.

Looking at the meaning, 56 Chinas sounds concerningly close to ethno-state advocacy, but I figure that's not the intent.
