Communism is a dictatorship. So no they don’t preach democracy.

I understand it just fine. You’re the one using part of it to excuse the divine right of kings. But what the verse SAYS is that what happens is God’s will. Everybody thinking that verse says kings should be there is ignoring the fact that “he removeth kings” come BEFORE “setteth up kings”. The verse is saying that if the king gets deposed, that’s God’s will. And that if the people (with the wise and the scholars) decide they’re done with having kings ALSO God’s will. Remember God helps those who help themselves. The PEOPLE get to depose the kings, or at least try, whether or not they SUCCEED, is a function of God. But the WORK of it, that’s up to us.

You appear to lack critical knowledge about communism, then. They do prey on ignorance.
(T)he first step in the revolution by the working class ist to raise the proletariat to th level of ruling class, to win the battle of democracy.

— Communist Manifesto

What will be the course of this revolution? Above all, it will establish a democratic constitution, and through this the direct or indirect dominance of the proletariat.

— The Principles of Communism
And please do not twist the words of God. Our independence from Britain did not leave its monarch deposed. France murdered its monarch, and the resulting chaos left them to be ruled by subsequent tyrants, leading to communism itself by forming the pattern thereof.
