Is there such a thing as democratic communism?

Or is rigid fascism the only environment that communism can exist in? As resources become more scarce and AI plays a bigger part in societal control I foresee a day when the needs of the individual will be suppressed in order for the world to survive. Life will be pleasant but not challenging. The drive and ambition for materialism will be gone.

i think it's safe to say communism doesn't work for a number of reasons.
democracy or republics have their issues but are a better alternative.

the question is not if communism can be combined with another system, but rather if there are ways we can make parts of existing systems more socialized. which is a sizable difference.
