A democracy is socialism we are a republic!
While I haven’t agreed with rabscuttle too much in this thread, democracy is most definitely not socialism. It’s only one step removed from mob rule, but it’s not socialism.
“Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.”
- Winston Churchill
“The best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter.”
- Winston Churchill
I agree with him on both.
