Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater

I believe there is now as strong a case for democracy being a seriously flawed socio-political ideology, as communism and socialism.
Can one be objective about communism’s noble ideals without in your heart believing it’s an evil ideology? The same with socialism, especially if you’ve been brought up on the thinking that democracy is the only way to exist happily. Democracy fuelled, fanned and fawned over the biggest economic disaster since 1929. So, should we ditch it? No. In the same way, we should not have thrown out communism and socialism, in totality. We need a new way forward.
