I'm sorry that you can not understand how "socialism" and "democratic" can not exist in the same universe.
Let me get you the cliff's notes, because you have clearly not read into the abundant historic material on the matter.
For a "real socialist" society (i.e. Utopia) to emerge, one of two things has to happen:
1. Revolution (mob rule), followed by a dictatorship of the proletariat (communism),
2. The community as a whole voluntarily giving up their private property to the state, of which the community democratically has decided that they should do so, and do so peacefully.
Still communism, because you just forfeited all your freedoms.
Both followed by an economic equilibrium (socialist utopia... this never has happened... or if commies like to say: "tried").
1 = 100 million dead.
2 = Never happened, will never happen, because as we learned from all instances of "1", even when held at gunpoint, people will resist.
Socialism is opposite of capitalism.
There are currently only two types of countries:
A. communist countries
and
B. capitalist countries with social security systems.
If anything, kind of working type A countries (China, Cuba, Vietnam) have adopted free market economics because they would otherwise descend into category 1.
