It depends on what type of democracy really. The Republic option of democracy is better than socialism. The government works better because they allow the real business people do the real work. The government in all truth is supposed to be designed to represent its nation and help it whenever it can. The government though isn't designed to bail out companies though that can't afford to pay back their loans to the government. The government will just control that company until the next president lets go of it and allows it to fall like it should. Socialism really is just a bi-product of communism. It has some ideaology of republicism but it has more communism. Socialists governments though work their way up to become a communist nation to take away people's freedoms that were given to them from the American Revolutionary War.
