Democracy isn’t a core requirement of capitalism either. Saudi Arabia is very capitalist and they’re a Monarchy.
It’s far more likely to just be that communism was the new flavor for a while and they suffered the same fate as most rebellions. When the guard rails, (whatever they are), come down, then the bad guys will try to take advantage.
