Since socialism means 'all equal', it is even more a democracy than the flexibility-rat-race that the USA is today.

I don't mean a communist-state (like the USSR was), cause communism, despite being the best system there is, doesn't work in reality. Why? Too little flexibility (I'm contradicting myself, I know :p )

I'm talking a government with socialism.
