There are two statements here.  The first is that anti-capitalist movement can 
overthrow capitalist regimes (i.e., anti-capitalist revolutions can occur).  
The second statement is that such revolutions can lead to democratic political 
structures.

I am curious about the second statement.  In your view (the generic you), what 
is the evidence for the second statement?  This is not intended as a 
contentious question.  The fact that I may disagree with you about whether any 
specific post-revolutionary political structure is democratic, or an 
improvement, is irrelevant to the question.  The questions is, from your 
perspective, what is the evidence that supports the statement that 
anti-capitalist revolutions can lead to democratic political structures?
