Socialism, as I understand it, is a system of democracy. Without democracy, there is no socialism.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Socialism's not a word that I use. I say 'social democracy' because I don't think the government needs to own all the means of production.
Democracy is the road to socialism.
Democracy is indispensable to socialism.
Socialist democracy is not, a luxury and its need is not limited to the most advanced industrial countries.
Democracy is the wholesome and pure air without which a socialist public organization cannot live a full-blooded life.
Socialism is nothing but the capitalism of the lower classes.
Socialism is nothing more nor less than the social, political and ideological system which breaks the fetters upon economic growth created under capitalism and opens the way to a new period of economic and social expansion on a much larger scale.
But we don't have an example of a democratic society existing in a socialist economy - which is the only real alternative to capitalism in the modern world.
I can understand Communism, but not Socialism.
Socialism is when government's taking care of you, you send all your money to the government, the government decides how to spend it instead of letting the people spend it and make all those decisions.
