The descriptions "communist", "democratic" or "republic" are not mutually exclusive.
Switzerland is a confederation of 26 semi-independent cantons. A canton is equivalent to what is called a state in English-speaking federal countries.
It can be described as a republic, because it does not have an hereditary ruler.
It is very democratic, with fully open elections, plus many referendums. A referendum can be started by collecting enough signatures.
There are currently no communist cantonal governments in Switzerland, though there is nothing to prevent it.
