Really not loving that you’re implying that socialism isn’t democratic.
In my opinion it’s not really socialism if it’s not democratic.

The big, unanswered question is “what do you think would be better?” Given one highlighted concern regarding income inequality, I’d guess some flavor of socialism, but I’m just some idiot on the Internet.

The weird thing is, you ask people living in AES countries, they will agree that democracy is important, and this is evidenced by the outcomes. The dichotomy is between capitalism and socialism.

I thought the general consensus was that a benevolent dictatorship would be far more efficient and effective than a democracy.
Though whether such a thing could ever exist, or has ever existed may be difficult to prove.

Short term election cycles lead to short term planning.
But dictatorships aren’t immune either.

Socialism is orthogonal to democracy.
