Maybe a have to refraise my comment name a socialist country that was a democracy for a longer period of time and had better human rights than for example the Nordic countries.

I don't quite understand the purpose of these leading questions because successful revolutions so far have only happened in developing countries.

My point with these questions were to point out that capitalist countries have had longer democracies and better human rights than Socialist countries. In no way do I think that pure capitalism is a good thing. Governments need to have strict rules and regulation on what companies can do and also they have to support the poor and I do think governments should provide services for their citizens.
