    North Korea calls itself democratic. Everyone in the country votes for a new leader every five years. It’s just that there’s only one name on the ballot.

    One would be foolhardy to call that democracy.

    One would be even more foolhardy to argue that this means that democracy is a stupid idea.

    Likewise with socialism.
