Meaningless. You can replace socialist by capitalist and it would be equally meaningless.
The correct word is democracy. The people (or "workers") having a say or not has nothing to do with socialism or capitalism IMO.
Those who hold the money hold the power. Is rule by billionaires really democratic? Have you seen how easily they are wiping their asses with our democracy now that it’s convenient?
Are you ignoring the fact that they actually have the support of people?
That’s a stretch. The billionaires weren’t democratically elected to anything, not even by our system where money buys influence and propaganda. No, they’re just rich.

Well he did try out, how should I say that, a different, bigger type of democracy.
I don't understand the downvotes - parent's right. All regimes today like to trumpet themselves as (exceedingly!!) democratic, the question is: are they? In my estimation, overall, communist countries have done significantly worse in this department. And yes, rule by the many people is the definition of democracy.
"rule by the many people is the definition of democracy"
Well with elections we have a "rule by a few".
Wondering if elections could not be replaced by an app.
