Is it communism or dictatorship and lack of free speech that made life under Stalin so bad? Can you have a democratic communist country with free speech?

How is a capitalist society any different? Capitalists want to hold onto their money, so they also don't tolerate a communist movement. It is only through free speech that we're able to call out our leaders who behave poorly, and through the right to vote that we're able to replace poor leaders. Why couldn't this also work for a communist society?
