That is not why communism tries to undermine democracy.

In theory, it tries to undermine capitalism and private enterprise, because capitalism leads to politicians that buy their way into political power. Oligarchs that rule the common man. Take Trump as an example.

Communism, in theory, empowers the common, hard working laborer.

In practice, it leads to some scumbag working his way to the top as a dictator and granting his cronies power.

The political process in the USA is not nearly as pristine as you make out to be. And Free Market ? Like the 2008 bail outs ? As if the lobbyists, and money being spread doesn't make things happen in DC. The wealthy, be they individuals, or special interest groups, rule. Our voting for representatives gives the appearance that we're involved. You don't get involved unless you contribute money. The more money, the more influence.

We're spreading liberal democracy around the world ? We defend countries like Kuwait, a hereditary monarchy because...you think it's because...we couldn't stand to see Saddam Hussein violate their civil rights ? No, GHWB and friends did it for the money.

Some renegade Saudis supposedly pulled off 9/11, and George Junior smashed Iraq all the way down. To liberate the citizens of Iraq from an oppressive regime, they said. And because Saddam had weapons of mass destruction. (We knew he had some of those, because they came from the USA to be used on the Persians, the morality was a non-issue when sold).

That stuff is all propaganda.
