Just for the record bro.
"Socialism is the political belief that the state should own industries on behalf of the people and that everyone should be equal."
"Communism is the doctrine that the state should control the means of production and that there should be no private property."
Both of these definitions are very simplistic descriptions of these political ideologies and only Socialism has come near to working and even then it allows for Capitalism to flourish.
"Democracy is a system of government in which the people choose their leaders by voting for them in elections"
Again this is a very simplistic description of another much more complicated form of government.
Some say that the word "chequebook" should be put in front of the word Democracy as those with money dominate all Democracies no matter how the people vote.
It is well to remember that history teaches us that any country that allows it's poor no "welfare" provision is in grave danger of becoming a Fascist state with all that implies.
I am a firm believer in Democracy but like all other political systems it is open to corruption and deceit from those in power, Communism can never work because it does not allow for the greed in human nature like wise Socialism cannot work as people demand less tax and more spending power.
One could almost say, one extreme to another and neither works or ever will!
