The obvious answer would be yes and Google would reveal a more detailed and precise answer. Americans often make the mistake of assuming Democracy = Capitalism and interchanging Democracy for Capitalism proves the Op mixed up the two terms. |
Communism and Fascism aren't inherently totalitarian one-party governments.
Oh, and "economic equality" means different things to different people. I think it's important to answer the question of "what is economic equality?" However, I do feel like, based on your comment, that you didn't read past the OP (or not much past it). There's a lot in here that shows otherwise.
