Its been proven that Socialism does not work as well as Democracy. Joseph Stalin is an example of a Russian Dictator, as is Chairman Mao of China. Neither Russia nor China made any world progress when these Leaders were in Power. A Democratic country is governed by the people. A socialist country is governed by a Dictator. The people of a democratic country can throw out their government at any time if the people are unhappy with the leadership. The people of a socialist country have no say in running the country. If the Government is corrupt there is nothing the people can do but suffer the consequences.

Thank you for your response!See there are diffierent opinions about socialism between chinese and american.We don't think our country is governed by so called Dictator.We vote our leaders and we participate in governing the country via the system of people's congress though indirectly.Plus,i think socialism is more efficient in policymaking. Above is my view of socialism as a Chinese.Again,thanks for sharing.hehe~
