      Democratic centralism is a Leninist organisational principle of most communist parties, in which decisions are made by a process of vigorous and open debate amongst party membership, and action is subsequently binding upon all members of the party.

      Which communist party is or was democratic

      Nearly all of them, though in practice there are varying levels of corruption. A Vietnamese is much more likely to say “socialism means our government has to listen everyone” than an American say “democracy means our government has to listen to everyone”. Cuba is a particularly good example of democracy.
