EDIT by mnmazur: I'd like to note that while the People's Republic of China claims to be communist, and is still often called communist, many political scientists (myself included) do not consider it to be so. I am a practicing communist and a political scientist, and do not consider China to be communist, nor do many of my non-communist colleagues. For most purposes, however (ie a research project) it would not be incorrect to refer to China as being communist. EDIT by e7th04sh: Indeed, as a true anti-communist (i disagree not with the means, but with the goal of the system) i must say that many anti-communist sources agree with that conclusion. One particular remarkable polish conservative-liberal politican and publicist made a remark, that educated people are naive these day's believing China is communist and USA capitallist. (He did not mean it's '''exactly''' opposite, tough.) Since ideological terms often are negatively perceived because of their history, many governments and many parties do not use terms like communism or especially fascism or nazism to describe their agenda, while they are in fact valid. As an example, European Union (there is controversy wether it already exists or not, but it does de facto) has a public relation of a free trade area, because it encourages free trade between different states. Mind you tough that countries under the rule of European Parliament are suffering from heavy restrictions. Most ridiculous, if you let me mention it, is the law that bananas need to be curved and similar regulations for other egetables and fruits. Anyways, it's unwise to try to label countries and movements, because the meaning of labels and their political use is subject to manipulation. It's better to talk about facts, and wether someone is a communist or not depends on the understanding of the term. Thus, as was previously said, the "communist" states mentioned are only called so for historical/Propaganda reasons.

Why don't communists have elections?
Technically communists are supposed to have elections. The choice between candidates is limited to communists however, so that either way a communist will take office. In some communist countries only registered party members may vote, further limiting the voice of the people. In practice many communist countries do not bother with elections ( ie Cuba, North Korea).
